I believe it will be auto added. However you can force it to use this mirror if you like.

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

This will force your server to use mirror.active9. However it still might bounce and download from other mirrors due to the fastestmirrors yum app.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks for the provision of the public mirror. Does one need to add
this url to one's repo list or is it automatically added to the
mirrors that are searched by a server's repo list?

(Top or bottom posting on this list?)
