[CentOS-mirror] Mirror Changes - Important

Btw, motd of the rsync server haven't been changed... :)

[root at phoenix pub]# /usr/bin/rsync -azH --delete
msync.centos.org::CentOS /var/mirrors/storage-1/centos

mirror.caosity.org rsync service (caosi)
---------------------------------------

This service is intended for the sole use of the cAos worldwide mirror
network
to synchronize mirrors.
Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public caosity
mirror
use a mirror listed at http://www.caosity.org/download/mirrors instead.

If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the
notes at :- http://www.caosity.org/download/mirrorinfo
