+1 for muppet... I mean puppet; server related not so much network 'operator' (operators that should be on this list) related but yeah puppet would be the way.:)

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.

Gday Guys


Got an interesting topic to some,


We operate and maintain a few mirror's for different software such as CentOS, OpenVZ, EPEL ect


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,


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,


However having a few hundred servers, this would be very difficult and time consuming


I was wondering if anybody has an outcome for this if they have attempted this in the past


Feel free to PM me if you don't quite understand or value more information






Regards


Daniel
