There are two obvious solutions to this problem:

Use a proxy server

Setup a caching proxy server with squid, and then point the second machine's apt configuration to it. Do this by adding the following to the file /etc/apt/apt.conf (creating it if necessary):

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.host.name:port/";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://proxy.host.name:port/";
Use a tool

apt-proxy is designed to do this job.
