Thanks all,
I am not too concerned about Cloudflare, I am proxying only, not caching. Its this terrible ATT gateway that starts struggling at 500 or so active sessions.
No worries if not wanted, just thought I'd offer :-)

I do not believe the Project would accept a mirror that is proxied via Cloudflare. This is due to the fact that the requests are not being served directly by the mirror. The Project also uses GeoIP lookups to determine your mirror location and the GeoIP information for Cloudflare would (almost) with 100% surety not match the details for your host.
Furthermore, if your router cannot handle 200+ connections on a gigabit link then your network would not be of a type suitable for providing a mirror. By the sounds of it, this is not being hosted in a proper datacentre and while the Project appreciates your offer, it may not be acceptable due to the potential unreliability.

Hello admin,
I would like to offer a new US CentOS mirror, but I will need to use
Cloudflare to proxy the requests. I have a gigabit up/down connection that will be stable, however the ATT provided gateway/router/modem combo chokes on a large amount of different IP addresses coming in at once. I have found that if I route the traffic through Cloudflare, it can handle the 200 or so unique IP's Cloudflare uses without an issue. I am currently hosting EPEL and Fedora Buffet public mirrors without any problems this way.
Any issues with this setup?
