I appreciate the pointer above in regards to mirror usage. I'd be

mirror would I use for syncing these repos?
any of the public mirrors listed at http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=31 http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=32
pick the closest to you (rsync?) and as a courtesy to the mirror manager you are pulling from, just send them an email?
Also, is it possible to create a repo in a sort of 'cache' mode
where
packages are only stored on the local repo if requested by a device
using the
repo? Essentially a 'yum caching proxy' for lack of a better term?
a squid proxy might be able to do it (the centos mailing list may be more appropriate for this kind of discussion), see also cobbler.
Cheers.

Thank you again for your help. I'll look into the Squid option.
