   I think its not possible. Especially in shared environments. For 
example in a university, machine A ran yum and downloaded foo.rpm via 
bar.com. Now if machine B runs yum to download the same foo.rpm, how 
will it know what mirror machine A used?

   If you have a look at the latest developments of 
intelligentmirror[1], you'll observe that this mirror switching problem 
has been resolved but at the proxy level.
