in your centos repo file, add a mirrorlist line pointing to your
mirrorlist file. For example:
mirrorlist=http://my-mirrors.example.com/my-centos-mirrors.el7
and then populate my-centos-mirrors.el7 with your chosen list of mirrors:
$ cat my-centos-mirrors.el7
http://my-mirror.example1.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
http://my-mirror.example2.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
http://my-mirror.example3.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
You _may_ also need to remove the baseurl line too, not sure.
You can probably achieve a similar effect without the mirrorlist plugin
by simply specifying multiple baseurl's. For example:
baseurl=http://my-mirror.example1.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
http://my-mirror.example2.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
http://my-mirror.example3.com/centos/el7/$basearch/
Hope that helps.
