[CentOS] Using a local mirror? [SOLVED]

This is a bit late, I know, but I found a similar setup described at:
http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/YUM_automatic_local_mirror.php
Their server appears to be down right now, but that's where I found the
information. The original was designed for Fedora, but it was adapted
to CentOS pretty easily. I've been using this for about 4 months now
with great results.
Rather than spoofing the mirrorlist.centos.org entry in DNS, I just have
anybody that wants to use the local mirror put an entry in their
/etc/hosts file pointing to the IP address of the local server. The
Perl CGI script adds the entry for our local server to the results
returned from the real mirror list and depends on yum-fastestmirror to
pick the local server from the list.
Since we don't mirror all architectures on our local server, I added
some intelligence to the Perl script so that it would only add the local
server if the requested repository, release, and architecture were on
the local server. If anybody wants to see the final results, just let
me know and I'll post my modified script and the Apache config fragment
or a pointer to it.
