Good afternoon, Jonathan, all,

A client has a number of machines on their internal LAN, all running
FC4.
To keep them all up2date takes quite a lot time and bandwidth because
even at 512M broadband speeds the stuff has to be downloaded for all
the machines on the network. Could I set them up with their firewall
machine holding a mirror of the Fedora Core and Extras repositories and
have all the network machines point to the firewall for repositories ?
Any pointers to doing this and gotchas to beware of would be welcome ...
I've put together a script to handle mirroring repositories
locally.
http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull/ has the script and a howto
document on how to set it all up.
Best of luck!
Cheers,
- Bill
