So, if you want to *always* use your mirror, two possibilities: - you use your favorite configuration management solution (puppet, ansible, chef, and so on ...) to configure your systems to always point to your local mirror. - you "cheat" at the dns level (assuming you have control on that in your network) to redirect mirrorlist.centos.org to a httpd instance always returning your local mirror as the unique mirror (can be done with a 10 lines php script) and so redirect all machines directly to that mirror without any needed action on each provisioned machine. Please also note that it would be probably better to speak about such workarounds on the main CentOS list, and not the mirror one ;-) Cheers, -- Fabian Arrotin gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab
