I've got a local mirror at home and would like to set up automatic usage from my local hosts on my private NATed network. Did you set up a single host netblock for your public ip address? I have cable internet and my public ip stays the same for several months at a time but it does change. Is there any way to have a more dynamic set up, like a netblock on a domain name so I only have to change my DNS and mirrormanager picks that up?
