Yes, it is now reachable. However, I get the impression that there's 
some rate limiting involved. Here's what I get when I tried to run my 
(unofficial) manual mirror checking script:

$ perl checkcentosmirror_v4.pl http://mirror.sesp.northwestern.edu/centos/

http://mirror.sesp.northwestern.edu/centos/ : FAIL

If I retry the test, the failing URLs will be different for each run. If 
I'm lucky, all the downloads will succeed. Most often at least one file 
will fail to download.

This rate limiting may affect your mirror's visibility to the official 
mirror checker (causing your mirror to be marked as unreachable), and it 
may also cause problems for people who download updates from your mirror 
or do a netinstall with your mirror as the source.

I would suggest increasing the maximum connection rates, if you want to 
keep rate limiting.
