We are doing about 35Mb/s of traffic on our CentOS box here... account for about 5Mb/s of other traffic. Yes, we run Apache and the box experiences approximately 0.05 load on average.

Now I'm in doubt wether I should make our own mirror public or not.
The first and main issue are the bandwidth costs. Can you give an estimate on how much traffic a typical European/German mirror
generates
per month?
http://centos.bio.lmu.de/mrtg/141.84.43.23_141.84.43.22.html
This is a german mirror, offering rsync, http and ftp, all isos including DVD. The lack of traffic you can see in July was a config problem :)
The second issue is, that some kiddies might try to attack and hack
our
mirror to inject changed packages. Do you have statistics on this?
Which
FTP daemon do you recommend for a hardened anonymous-FTP only service?
I use vsftpd with anonymous access only - and anonymous can only read.
Btw.: What do I have to change in the yum config on each server to use
one specific repository server and not the mirrorlist system? Do I
just
have comment the mirrorlist line and uncomment the baseurl?
Yes, as the yum.conf manual page explains in length :)
