What is the best way to specify which mirrors off a repository you want to use? Have a host with rather restricted egress rules and want to allow it to reach a couple of mirrors for each repo it needs. And, yes, I am not ready to mirror them locally.
specify a mirror directly in the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*.repo files, using baseurl= instead of mirrorlist=
or, to be trickier [1] you could have mirrorlist.centos.org in your local DNS point to a local http server which has entries like...
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os containing (for example) http://centos.mirror.lstn.net/6/os/x86_64/ http://mirror.n5tech.com/CentOS/6/os/x86_64/ http://mirrors.xmission.com/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://mirrors.rit.edu/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://repos.lax.quadranet.com/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://repo1.ash.innoscale.net/centos/6/os/x86_64/ http://mirrors.maine.edu/CentOS/6/os/x86_64/ http://mirror.fileplanet.com/centos/6/os/x86_64/ -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
