For the mirrors who offer rsync access, you can also use "rsync -n" to compare your own mirror against different "upstream" ones.
Thats a good idea, we should plumb that into the checking scripts.
Also, internally all the centos machines run 2 rounds of rsync, the first one runnging with an --exclude='repodata/' and without the --delete. The second one has --delete, but no excludes, so that way we try and make sure the time that a machine might not be in a 'good' state is reduced quite a bit.
