Shared apt archives

Hi,

I have several debian installations and use a lot of bandwidth when doing
apt-get updates etc. Would it break anything if I share
the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory between the machines?

I particularly want to do this on a vserver machine that I run. It just seems
like a waste to download 8 copies of the same file to the same hard drive
when I do updates on the vservers.

Thanks,
Chaim
