Hi, Jason.

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

I'd make a backup of the original CentOS-Base.repo:

cp CentOS-Base.repo CentOS.Base.repo.org

Open CentOS-Base.repo in a text editor, vim, emacs, whatever.

Comment out all the mirrorlist's.

# mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/blah-blah-blah

Make sure all the baseurl's reflects your internal repo and are not
commented out.

baseurl=http//your_internal_repo/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/

You should be ok to use yum then, so long as your paths are all good.
This is how I do it, anyways. Other comments or procedures are more than
welcome.

Regards,
Max
