Also, works well for include / exclude segments so you can easily ( and in a more yum friendly manner ) manage the package set. With a bit more creativity, its possible to use that and squid to setup an avahi based lan area zeroconf yum mirror with failback to remote urls if required. I seriously doubt I'll have the time to sit and actually writeup an article on this - but I'd be happy to point people in some directions or maybe we can setup a shared screen session + voice and do a demo. - KB
