To followup, I see that there is an active thread discussing the proper way to do this (and therefore know why I had a hard time finding it documented). So, I'll just sit tight and wait for a conclusion.
Thanks, -Brian

We (http://mirror.anl.gov) would like to start mirroring the DVD ISOs for direct download, but I have failed to find instructions on how to include them when I sync.
How do I include DVD ISOs on my mirror site?
Thanks, -Brian

With the release of 5 we have seen a tremendous increase in the use of the dvd.iso , so that from bitorrent it is now downloaded 5 times more than the cd isos.
For a while there, we were the only mirror showing DVDs on the CentOS site. We had to throttle our bandwidth because we were pushing as much as 350 Mbps, mostly in DVD ISOs. Things have calmed down a bit from that high now.
Phew - thanks for that - I think there are now 4 US mirrors shown carrying dvd isos - and we are pushing to get more ...
The main issue with having the dvd isos available from mirrors is that Apache < 2.2 running on 32 bit architecture wont display files larger than 2.0 GB , however CentOS 5 has Apache 2.2 with large file support so that problem will now start to go away - alternative is also to use lighttpd.
Rebuilding the apr, apr-util, and httpd SRPMs from CentOS 5 or Fedora Devel will work for CentOS 4. Only catch, httpd includes an init script which requires a new version of initscripts. To work around it, you can install the src RPM, then grab your old /etc/init.d/httpd and replace /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE/httpd.init. Then you can set the dependency to require 7.93 of initscripts instead in the specfile and build. That's what we're doing currently.
aha
