Hi, I need to configure yum to limit the number of URLs going out for security reason. I don't find a configuration for include option. I do find an exclude option in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf. It would be impossible to exclude every url in this file. What is the best way to limit the traffic going out interest for yum? Is the local network repository a better way or does there exist an include option that I am not aware of?

AFAIK, you cannot "limit". You can set it to check only one mirror. Which is not very clever or nice, so you should use your own repo. Apparently, you have a few more machines. Then you should use a repo, anyway. It's easily set up and filled with a nightly rsync. Reduces traffic quite a bit. Kai
