Hi Dax. Good to hear from you again. Of course you can use MM to
direct your users. More so because you know you have a static IP
address range.
MM doesn't (yet) have the ability to redirect users of dynamic address
ranges to local mirrors. The netblock lookups are pretty simplistic;
they take only an IPv4 or IPv6 address range, not a DNS name. Given how
often this has come up, I really should teach MM to accept a name in
that field, and if it's a string, do a DNS lookup on it. That would
allow dynamic DNS (within a reasonable propagation delay; DNS cache and
MM's top-of-the-hour refresh of its caches) to front a private mirror;
the mirror wouldn't have to have a public DDNS address though.
As for your bug on filling in bandwidth_int: thanks - yes, it's a bug.
The field is mandatory for all mirrors, because it's quite possible to
have multiple private mirrors serving the same network blocks; each
mirror may have different capacity.
Below is boilerplate for all new private mirrors.
Please use a tier 1/2 mirror[1] close to you; create an account in the
MirrorManager[2]; register your mirror as a private mirror in the mirror
manager; enter your local netblocks in mirror manager; run
report_mirror[3] and as soon as you are listed in the database as up to
date yum will be redirected to your local/private mirror.
All this information can be found in more details in the wiki at:

If there are any more question do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks for supporting Fedora.

Subject: Private Fedora Mirror Request
Hi All,
With F11 moving to SSL for fetching the metalink info, the "Automatic
Local Mirror Yum" (1) setup no longer works. I had thought about
updating it to use SSL and then rewriting the metalink info (and hashes)
to insert my local mirror in the hopes that yum doesn't do SSL
certification validation but figured that if it didn't do validation
already, it would at some point.
So anyway can I use MirrorManager to automatically redirect my internal
Fedora users to my internal mirror?
My external IP block is 67.137.148.0/24. All my users are natted into
that range.
Do you have a solution for organizations who external IP address is
dynamic? My technique works for in that situation for F10 and below.
Thanks,
Dax Kelson
