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...
