The Fedora mirror system has a nice feature:

If you run a local fedora mirror you can put a netblock
on the Fedora mirror management page. Any request for
a mirror site from this netblock then gets directed to
the local mirror only.

In this way you access the local mirror without
changing anything in /etc/yum.conf.d

It could be nice to have this for CentOS as well...
