Might I suggest you shut down Software Update server and enable Caching Server?

Jul 17, 2018 Mac content caching reduces bandwidth usage and speeds up installation on iOS and tvOS devices by storing software updates, apps & more on your computer. Sep 25, 2001 The Mac OS X Server v10.1 software upgrade package is available for $19.95 (US) and includes the Mac OS X Server v10.1 upgrade CD, the Macintosh Manager 2.1 CD, the NetBoot CD and a Developer Tools CD. And Canadian education customers can receive the Mac OS X Server v10.1 upgrade free of charge by calling 1-800-800-2775. If I run software update on a Mavericks Mac it will find a caching server automagically if there are any running locally rather than using the CDN Apple hosts on the internet. I'm not so much concerned about security as just knowing when and if the server is running correctly without having any sort of log in to the server.

Now, if you are behind a proxy, I can understand not. But if you are on a simple network, I think you will find that Caching Server does everything you want Software Update server to do. You can define a storage limit, it will auto-purge unused cached content, requires no client side configuration, and works with both OS X (10.8.2 and higher) and iOS (iOS 7 and higher).
Now if you are supporting legacy OSs or have network limits, then I can understand the need for Software Update server. If you must continue to use it then I would suggest setting the mode to manual, purging your existing repository, and then selecting only the installers you want to support on your network. If you have a consistent deployment this is relatively easy. If you are supporting multiple OSs it gets tough.
Hope this helps
