Myself - I might use the 16G stick as install medium - see conversations
elsewhere in this list on how to use jigod. That gives you the contents of
more than DVD 1 to DVD 3 in one small format. These are up to 70 real,
physical servers and not VMs? You might want to look at automated ways to
deploy and build that many servers.

What you're asking is possible - but not necessarily a good move: Debian
changes daily with fixes, security fixes and so on. Unless you are going to
build them and then walk away completely - build a mirror which is
dual-homed: you can connect it to the internet to pull in updates very
regularly, then disconnect form the internet and use this machine to update
all of the others.

All the very best, as ever,
