I have never seen our own mirrors show up in more than 1 of the 4 repos at any given time. In the case of DNS/Proxy hijacking, does this mean we would have to return ONLY our mirrors, or do I just make sure they are part of the 10 random mirrors?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to steer mirror traffic to your own mirrors without logging into the boxes? We have two public mirrors (one in each of our DCs) and would love to reduce the load on external mirrors, but manually changing the settings of tons of production boxes (many of which we don't even have access to) is not really an option. Most/all of the boxes have the default yum config (fastestmirror plugin).
a) *BE* the fastest mirror :) (which does not work in the US, as mirrorlist only returns 10 random mirrors from the country you are in).
b) DNS-Hijack mirrorlist.centos.org (I would not do that without telling customers about that) and return your mirror always
Traffic redirection to mirrorlist.centos.org (and then returning your own mirror) might also work.
No real elegant solution there.
