This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide mirror network to synchronize mirrors.
Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror use a mirror listed at http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the notes at :- http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15
If you do use this service then it is implied that you are providing a mirror for public use and giving us authority to publicise such mirror.

I appreciate the pointer above in regards to mirror usage. I'd be creating this local mirror to remove some load from the other mirrors as we provision anywhere between 1-25 CentOS based servers per week. In this case, what mirror would I use for syncing these repos?
Also, is it possible to create a repo in a sort of 'cache' mode where packages are only stored on the local repo if requested by a device using the repo? Essentially a 'yum caching proxy' for lack of a better term?
