well, Fedora has been having the Mirror-Manager for quite some while now where you can select which countries your mirror would want to serve and also give your networks (lately: your AS-numbers) and would always be ranked first in the mirror-lists.
I've tried to discuss that with CentOS-folks in the past, but they seemed to prefer the current system which "just works" for them :-(
Sorry to hear that, while we're wasting bandwidth :-(
I just made an offer for a meeting via IRC.

And keep in mind please that that means to move a *large* installed set of machines over to a different mirror system. And that system is run by a crowd which doesn't really like changes in their eco system.
So the more people can chime in with their knowledge ...
One thing I know is that we won't begin restructuring *before* 6 is out. Just to give an unknown timeframe >:)
Cheers,
