But that's a per-box per-repo specific change, with per-distro, per-repo variations for the end users to figure out for themselves. And then it won't fail over at all if the url you pick goes away. Aren't computers supposed to work for you instead of the other way around?
Sigh!!!!! Why do people insist on doing things the hard way and insist on doing it over and over. As explained in the previous post of mine, I have a local repo, I use pxeboot with a kickstart file. There is one kickstart per distro, per version.
So you had to copy everything and set this up for every disto and version everyone at a location wants to use? I guess we have different ideas of what is the hard way to do things. Things that pull though a caching proxy don't take any pre-arrangement about the content. But thanks for posting your files - I'll probably set up something like this for Centos 5 in several locations even though I still consider it a workaround for a design flaw.
