If you are just downloading the RHEL cd iso images, then you can put 
them all in a directory on an nfs server and then set

nfs --server <servername> --dir <absolute path of dir containing isos>

in your kickstart file. Anaconda finds them and switches from one iso 
image to the next as it progresses.

However, once the DVDs were made available, I switched to using those 
isos instead.
