Currently the vast majority of our mirror traffic appear to be random 
CentOS clients from around the world.  Meanwhile, CentOS clients located 
in nearby peered networks are randomly hitting worldwide mirrors.  This 
means we are benefited almost not at all by running a CentOS mirror.

Are you able at least to list our mirror at the top for clients asking 
for a mirrorlist from two particular ASN's?

6360  University of Hawaii
10838 Hawaii Roadrunner

Could you also display our mirror less often for worldwide clients?  50% 
as often would be ideal.
