if I have a local centos yum mirror, whats the best way of adjusting the yum.repos.d/*.repo files to use this? If I simply edit CentOS-Base.repo there stands a chance that a yum update could conflict with my changes.
am I better off creating a 'new' .repo and setting the stock one to 'enable=0' ?

In my case, I change the baseurl= line to my local yum repo and comment out the mirrorlist= line to force getting files locally only.

That's what we do as well.
Locally built packages, on the other hand, are stored in a separate local repo; those do get their own .repo file.

It doesn't really matter as the stock repo files are setup as %config(noreplace) ... meaning that any changes (setting enable=0, editing baseurl=, etc.) will cause a .rpmnew file to be created on an upgrade.
SO ... may as well edit the file and change it the way you want to.

This is exactly what I do as well.

The Fedora mirror system has a nice feature:
If you run a local fedora mirror you can put a netblock on the Fedora mirror management page. Any request for a mirror site from this netblock then gets directed to the local mirror only.
In this way you access the local mirror without changing anything in /etc/yum.conf.d
It could be nice to have this for CentOS as well...

thats neat, except my mirror is on a private netblock 10.x.x.x and I don't even know all the IP blocks our intranet uses for internet acccess as we have at least 3 internet gateways around the world
