Well the only reason not too was that you allow public rsync access :) I guess that would mean having specific rsync targets for mirrors to sync eg ::CentOS-sync-nodvd ::CentOS-sync-incdvd as opposed to the public ::CentOS But what would be the difference ?? - ok I guess they are more specific as to what you are going to get, and you may be able to give a different bandwidth path ?? Plus it may be useful for logging purposes. I am happy to provide a list of ips that are authorised to sync those targets - would that work for you ??
