I'm pretty sure this is totally normal. It's just clients checking the contents of the mirror - I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Hi,

In my CentOS mirror server I am getting huge HTTP request from random IP's. Bellow are few sample logs:

Is it normal phenomena or there is some thing wrong?

Thanks for the offer to mirror debuginfo's - we have 3 machines doing the user-interface to debuginfo and they dont seem to be under any massive load.

There might still be some value in having more mirrors though

As you wish. I don't know which rsync source to use, though. :-)
