Looking through your mailing list's archive I gathered that you are
currently preparing to change your mirror infrastructure. If in doing this you should implement a way to run a private mirror without having to update the CentOS-Base.repo file on every machine (for example by giving clients different mirrorlists depending on the netrange their request are originating from), I'd be very much obliged.
That probably will depend on what we choose to go with and if we want to officially support "private" mirrors. AFAICS that creates work for us with no obvious benefits. And I rather have large corporations offer a public mirror than a private mirror :)
I agree. Private mirrors should be completely unsupported by the CentOS guys. Please let them spend their time contributing to the Centos community, not your private network.
I also express my view, not to support Mirrors with 'Private' Label on it. Anyone can create a Mirror of CentOS Project's files. With this Private Mirror, he/she can redirect their CentOS box update traffic and in this case my opinion to sync their mirror from nearest Tire 1 Mirror. There shouldn't have any headache to Master Mirror Maintainers.
But as a curtsy the owner of private mirror should contact the maintainer of the Tire 1 mirrors, from where he/she is updating/syncing private mirror.
With Best Wishes
