Use rsync to mirror, as that will keep bandwidth down once your first transfer 
is done. Also, only mirror what you need so you don't waste bandwidth.

Yum is what you need to update, but you probably know that. Edit 
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to point to your intranet repository instead 
of external ones.

And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
