We plan to create an internal-only mirror of EPEL for use within our organization. Per
your documentation located at
'http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring', I'm writing to
inform you of this and ask a question.

You need to an entry for your mirror server in MirrorManager[1]. Please
sync from a tier 1 or 2 mirror[2]. Just at the three possible IP
addresses in MirrorManager as "Site-local Netblocks" and MirrorManager
will redirect clients coming from one of those addresses to your private
mirror. If there are any more questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for the reply, Adrian. I just need a bit more clarification. We will not have
any systems looking to the internet for mirrors; it will all be .repo files with a baseurl
of our own internal mirror. Is the mirror manager registration still desired for this? If
so, I don't mind adding it, but none of our systems will be hitting the internet at
all, with the obvious exception of the one system which will be doing the rsync.
I figure most probably just fire up rsync pointed at one of your tier 1 or 2 mirrors and
don't bother notifying you, but I'd like to know when someone hits me to download
a large amount of data, so hopefully the notice is welcome.
Thanks,
Jarrett
