any of the public mirrors listed at
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=31
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=32

pick the closest to you (rsync?) and as a courtesy to the mirror manager
you are pulling from, just send them an email?

a squid proxy might be able to do it (the centos mailing list  may be more
appropriate for this kind of discussion), see also cobbler.
