The mirrorlist process checks the incoming IP and queries the GeoIP.dat database (geolite from Maxmind) and then verify the actual list of valid mirrors for that country : if not enough mirrors in that country are available, the mirrorlist script adds several mirrors from a nearby country.

The situation is not correct. For example: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6.5&arch=x86_64&repo=os&ip...

The returned list is obviously made up of mostly Chinese or Taiwanese mirrors.

According to https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip_demo the IP I provided is indeed seen in Japan (MaxMind used to show our range in China, maybe GeoIP.dat needs to be updated?)
