Ahh, that's a different question, and thanks Rahul for noticing. You're of course free to have "private" mirrors - e.g. mirrors intended for use by a University or other organization, where either by network architecture or firewall rules you may or may not be serving people outside of your own local community. The Fedora MirrorManager software can still be of help here. You'd pull the Fedora bits from one of the listed public mirrors, but in MirrorManager you'd set up your Site as a "private" mirror. It won't appear on the public mirrorlists, but if you then also set up a set of Netblocks (IP address ranges for your University), mirrormanager will automatically redirect yum clients in your netblock to your local private mirror. You run 'report_mirror' on your local private mirror to inform the mirrormanager database what you're carrying; if there's a yum client request for content you're not carrying (e.g. ppc), they'll get directed to one of the public mirrors for that content. That lets you get the most bang-for-your-buck: you only need disk space for the content that's popular, and that popular content gets served from your local mirror; less popular content you're not carrying gets served by one of the public mirrors.

If you are worried about bandwidth overuse, it is unlikely that many people would discover and use it outside of specific regions if it is not in public mirror list and since you have the control of the server serving data, you can always block specific ip or ip ranges or move the location.

No, I am not at all worried about that. I have unlimited bandwidth but the pipe is not that large. All I need to do for a public mirror is to copy things to a specific directory and assign the machine a public ip..rest is already done and its already serving WBUT locally . That should take not more that 10 mins.
