Ok.. it's working now anyways. We have *always* gotten our own mirror which is what caused the confusion here. I'd rather avoid having to manually touch all our CentOS servers. ;) Is there a reason why we normally wouldn't get our own mirror when it's in our core network?

You will always get a set of mirrors *close* to you regionally and the fastest-mirror plugin will try to determine which of those mirrors that is. You will *NOT* get back your mirror, even if that is in your network. Well, it can happen, but it probably won't. > Just wondering if we need to wait another 24 hours before doing updates > for our own system? No. If you want to use your mirror, then configure yum to use your mirror. For example by installing a "yum-local-repo.rpm" which overwrites the original yum configuration.
