I used the ISO mirrors that you have listed down on the download page. For my home, it took me to the Madison mirror,which is the closest. However, all of my servers are being taken to Layered Tech instead of my mirror.

Hey all.
It's great that the new system is out, but is it still a bit buggy?
I pulled up the new system from the server my mirror is on, yet it didn't have me try and use my own mirror. Instead, it took my to a server which is 16 hops away.
What's up with that?
Well firstly your mirror may not be one of the random 10 local ones that are listed by the geo ip system for that repo.
Secondly did you enable use of plugins to get the fastestmirror plugin ??

The isoredirect does not use any form of mirror speed comparison - it just lists mirors that are in the same country code as the requester, or if there are less than 10, adjacent country codes as well.
It is up to you to choose the closest.
However, all of my servers are being taken to Layered Tech instead of my mirror.
Are you using yum with fastestmirror plugin ??
If so it logs the speed of connections in /var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt

In the US, there are more than 10 mirrors, so it picks 10 randomly. Then on the client, the 10 mirrors that are provided are ranked by speed. If you have a local mirror, you would be better off picking that first and adding a couple others manually.
It is not buggy, we just have more than 10 mirrors, so your server may not show up. The GeoIP is based on country, it does not get down to the city level, nor does it count the hops. When we are talking about close, we mean you will not get a mirror in Japan if you are in the USA.
