Chaps,
Is cobbler overkill or is it simpler to set up a local repo and rsync it with a mirror?
Personally, I think cobbler overkill if all you want to do is have a local copy of the CentOS repo for updates and occasional installations.
I just mirror the os/ and updates/ trees (about 20G for CentOS 5.4). I point lighttpd at the root of the mirror tree, enable directory listings, and push a standard CentOS-Base.repo file that points to the local mirror to all my CentOS machines.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I was thinking. By the way, is bottom-posting prefered on this list?
