You should be able to configure apt-proxy on the dial-up to use the URL
to apt-proxy on the LAN as the upstream source(s).  This should be
pretty much the URL currently used by the apt sources.list files on the
systems on the LAN.  The boxes behind the dialup set their sources.list
to the dialup apt proxy.
