Yes, that is fine. We hardlink the trees for other reasons (although they 
escape me at the moment :)

Well the only reason not too was that you allow public rsync access :)

I guess that would mean having specific rsync targets for mirrors to sync 
eg ::CentOS-sync-nodvd ::CentOS-sync-incdvd as opposed to the public 
::CentOS

But what would be the difference ?? - ok I guess they are more specific 
as to what you are going to get, and you may be able to give a different 
bandwidth path ??

Plus it may be useful for logging purposes.

I am happy to provide a list of ips that are authorised to sync those 
targets - would that work for you ??
