I know. I'm not running K12LTSP however so I didn't know there were  
mirrors already.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to ship a k12ltsp-release package with a  
mirrorlist in it and use mirrorlist=<somelocalfile> in the repo file?  
That way people always have their mirrorlists and you can push  
updated mirrorlists by creating a new version of the k12ltsp-release  
package. I believe I have seen other repositories do this.
