Maybe a idea, Why not choose the least busy ones, Say there are 100 mirrors, 5 are busy and 5 almost unused Isn't it a better idea to let the 5 busy and the 5 unbusy pull from centos.org And have the other 90 pull from the 5 unbusy? That should even the load better.

Maybe it's been discussed before, but would it not be worthwhile to do a DNS based thing for this? We create a temporary rsync source domain
Thats quite a lot of work, I'm more keen on having ACL's in place that only allow some specific mirrors ( maybe the 100 busiest ones ) to pull from centos.org; and have everyone else pull from them.
from 'busy' -i meant more like kernel.org / heanet.ie or mirrorservice.org
