Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] Mirror question I'm in and out of here all the time, But I remember talk of a new-er mirroring system being in the works. With some functionality like fedora has where you can redirect your local subnets to your server, if its up to date. Anyone else remember this? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know currently, You have to change the repo.conf file for each machine to point it locally.

In my particular case, being a campus with large address pool I think it could be interesting if we could somehow force users from our subnet to use my mirror.
