Hi Daniel,

that's what we do for ouw own centos infra, and is really simple :
- dns override for mirrorlist.centos.org
- local httpd vhost that returns what yum is expecting

I gave a talk last year about caching things, and also redirecting to
such internal mirrors transparently :

Starting reading around slide 11

PS : I'd consider starting a new thread on the main centos list, as it's
probably a better place to discuss such thread ?
