Would be quite academic to drop in something like GeoIP and use that as
a refrence tool. For anyone interested :

Running / checking the mirror list for update status every 6 hours could
be built into the central server, mirror handout should be done on the
fly from there. And a setup like mirror.centos.org is redundant enough
to not have issues with 1 or even 2 of the machines being down at a
given time.
