Thank you. Excellent answer.

I had a suspicion there was something like a RewriteRule happening,
though I've never used one. The directory name "isoredirect" seemed
like a clue, but, since I don't have administrative access to
centos.org, I had to ask for more knowledgeable help.
Your answer also seems to indicate that changing the wiki data from
"[mirror.centos.org..." to "[isoredirect.centos.org..." is considered
bad style in this case, the preference being a RewriteRule

I'll move on to the next issue I have with wiki.c.o/Download, which
I'll address in a new posting when I recall what it is.
