This works only so long as CentOS uses http instead of https to distribute the mirror list, and so long as yum ignores the https origins of the certificates. Fedora switched to using https a few releases back. I don't recall if yum does https cert checking yet though...
Exactly why I said it wasn't perfect but until the state of CentOS mirroring improves -- it's about all we can do.
I'm a long time CentOS user but fairly new to actually following the CentOS project. Who has the power to actually get the ball rolling on using MirrorManager/MirrorBrain or at least move the discussion ahead?
I have set up an experimental MirrorManager instance for CentOS at http://134.108.44.54/mm.centos/publiclist/ a few months ago and Peter did the same for MirrorBrain at http://centos.mirrorbrain.org/
I am still willing to help to set up MirrorManager if wanted.

Matt Domsch wrote some exciting new features including multiple named ASN and netblock support in the upcoming MirrorManager 1.4. It should be in production for Fedora and EPEL this month. After that stabilizes, it should be perfect for CentOS.
