****[CentOS] Using a local mirror?

[Jason Pyeron]

We already have our up2date / yum repo.


What we need is to (minimalistically) modify the clients to use it.

Given:

[root at test ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               fiftyone localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.67    mirrorlist.centos.org
[root at test ~]# curl -i
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4.5&arch=i386&repo=os"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:27:47 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS)
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

http://192.168.1.67/centos/4.5/os/i386/



Why does it pull data from outside???
