I'm pretty sure there are a couple of ways to do that, but I'll check to be sure. +1 for looking into a local EPEL mirror, but I don't think that will solve Dusty's problem here since the problem isn't with the mirror itself but with the metalink hashes which reside entirely in Fedora-managed infrastructure.
Would this still be a problem if the url they hit is all hosted locally ? I would have thought we'd rsync down once a day and gen new repo metadata at the same time. ie. skip the metalink info completely.

Should be doable, the sync will happen regardless. If we skip metalink, then the recommendation would be to set the baseurl in epel.repo which would add an extra step after `yum install epel-release`.
I'm working on testing how to register a private mirror today.
