Maybe I'm not seeing the entire problem, but couldn't you just cache the response from mirrormanager, in addition to caching the packages? Wouldn't everyone then get the same list, and by default, choose the first (and thus the same) mirror in the list?
That's probably the simplest solution. Mirrormanager could just set appropriate expires/cache-control headers for some value of appropriate. But, if you add new mirrors, clients behind proxies wouldn't get them in the list until it expires and if some client behind the proxy gets a copy in a browser and does a refresh it would pull in a different-order copy.
By the way, is there a handy way to tell yum not to try ftp:// urls from the list? Sometimes I am behind a squid proxy that will handle them and sometimes I have to use a microsoft isa proxy that won't and there are annoyingly long timeouts for the failures.
