In my case an example would be to put this in your yum config and disable all other external repositories [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://10.1.30.139/updates/centos_5/latest/$basearch/ gpgcheck=0 # this one specific to centos 5.1 32-bit [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://10.1.30.139/OS/centos_5_1_32/ gpgcheck=0 nate

Use createrepo, I believe, to create a local repository. Point the servers behind the firewall to this machine and use yum to update. ne... -- Registered Linux User # 125653 (http://counter.li.org) Now accepting personal mail for GMail invites.

Works great for me, cinch to setup and run mrepo -u as a cronjob to keep things up to date (and email me with updated rpms). Best of luck. Regards Andy
