[CentOS-mirror] Status of dvd iso for CentOS mirrors.

[Brian Elliott Finley]

We (http://mirror.anl.gov) would like to start mirroring the DVD ISOs
for direct download, but I have failed to find instructions on how to
include them when I sync.

How do I include DVD ISOs on my mirror site?

Thanks, -Brian
