Hmm, I'm slightly concerned about that AltArch part. It seems that you 
have placed altarch in http://mirror.init7.net/centos/altarch/ and 
technically that will also work. Yum does not care about the URL. The 
concern is that unless you pay close attention with your rsync scripts, 
you may end up wiping the altarch directory when syncing main 
architecture content, if you use the --delete option with rsync (like 
you should). Some months ago I had to disable one mirror for this exact 
reason, because the constant deleting and re-syncing of content consumed 
a huge amount of bandwidth at msync.centos.org.

I would recommend keeping the altarch files separate from main 
architecture files, such as in http://mirror.init7.net/centos-altarch/

Please let me know what you think of this and I'll then add your mirror.
