Multiple WSUS v6 (Server 2012) sharing UNC path with the content

So, I wish to consolidate my WSUS content so it can be shared between 2 (or more) WSUS v6 servers.  Historically, I've had 2-3 WSUS servers but they tend to take up a lot of HDD space with duplicate updates.  I usually have 1 for Windows 7/Vista clients (users), 1 for production 2008-R2 servers, and 1 for pre-prod/development 2008-R2 servers.  With most updates being downloaded for each WSUS server, the duplicates begin to add up quickly.  After all, most updates that are for Win7-64-bit will also work for 2008-R2...  With WSUS v6, that comes with Server 2012, it allows you to use UNC a path during setup.  

I want to know if what I'm trying to do is able to be done.  (I cannot be the only one running multiple WSUS servers.)  I also want to know if this type of setup (using the UNC path) is to be used for what I'm trying to do.
