I have a php script which can make the contents of the DVD available via
http. With one download and one lot of disk space, you can have the DVD
image and a web install (without the hassle of loop mounting the image).
If you are interested let me know.

What is the mechanism or procedure for installing

using Yum, assuming a secured server with no outside
internet connection?
Debian based distributions are able to use the
package manager to search for and install from the
CD's, and I'm looking for the CentOS equivalent.
Obviously, it's possible to install "manually" from
a CD with:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom/CentOS
rpm -U foobar-1.2.3.-4.5.el5.i386.rpm
Yum has such good dependency checking I'd like to
know of a way to use it if possible.
Checkout the file
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo
there are several pre-set mount points for your ISO
mounts. For my DVD I use /mnt/repo
I see above you have the right mount for an ISO. Then
to point YUM to your media repo use
#yum install SomeRPM --disablerepo=\*
--enablerepo=c5-media
if you want to ban external access, the disablerepo
token is the key.
