How to download older updates in Software Update Service?

Question

Hello,
In our company, we have a mixture of Mac OS X 10.6.2, 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 servers. Due to proxy-restrictions, only one of these servers is able to download updates directly from Apple (this one has 10.6.4 installed). We have set up the Software Update Service on this server to distribute the updates to all other servers and at first sight, it seemed to work fine.
However, we noticed that our Software Update Server is only downloading the most recent versions of all software updates. e.g. Security Update 2010-05 and Security Update 2009-05 are available, but not Security Updates 2009-01 up to 2009-04. They don't even show up in the list of available updates. Since Security Update 2009-05 requires at least 10.6.4 (but Security Update 2010-04 can still be installed on 10.6.2) we're unable to install any recent security update on our 10.6.2-servers.
Is there a way to configure Software Update Service to download older Security Updates? Running a centralized update server offers little benefit to us if it doesn't allow to install security updates on older Mac OS X releases... Updating all servers to 10.6.4 is not an option, as the software running on the servers is not always supported on the very latest Mac OS X releases.
Thanks,
Filip

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the following:
- stop Software Update Service
- remove /var/db/swupd/html and /etc/swupd to restore default settings
- start SUS again
- now both "Copy all updates from Apple" and "Delete outdated software updates" were unticked. That should be fine I suppose, as I don't want to download all the updates (e.g. we don't want printer drivers, Final Cut and so no), but only the ones we select. However, we still don't see e.g. Security Update 2010-04 in the list of available updates. Am I missing something here?
2010-05 includes all the previous security updates, I cannot find any reference to a 2010-004 update for Snow Leopard, only for Leopard (10.5). There was a 2010-003 for Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.4 Update would also have included previous security updates. It looks like there was never a 2010-004 for Snow Leopard.
