FWIW, the best way to actually do this now is to set yourself up as a
private mirror in mirror manager
(https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager) with an IP range set.
Then, clients connecting and asking for the mirror list from your IP
range will get back the local mirror.  Then the users don't have to do
anything and it Just Works (tm)
