<div lang="EN-AU" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72">This is more of a server question so you may not get great answers, but a few hacks that might work would be to add static DNS records from the mirror list to your recursors, to always push to your repo server
(very messy) , or as you said change the repo configuration on each server. I believe this is where management tools like puppet come in handy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Got an interesting topic to some,</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We operate and maintain a few mirror’s for different software such as CentOS, OpenVZ, EPEL ect</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However when we run yum updates and such, our local mirror’s “even tho are already listed in the mirror lists” are not selected as the closest,</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anybody has a genius way of resolving this? The only way I know of, would be having to edit each repo file and changing the baseurl line, and disabling the mirrorlist line,</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However having a few hundred servers, this would be very difficult and time consuming</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anybody has an outcome for this if they have attempted this in the past</p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Feel free to PM me if you don’t quite understand or value more information</p>
