I put the ISO file in my web tree and loopback mount it with a context 
option, e.g. in fstab:

/srv/nb/distros/fc10/os/x86_64/iso/Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso 
/srv/nb/distros/fc10/os/x86_64/dvd iso9660 
_netdev,ro,loop,fscontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_t:s0 0 0
/srv/nb/distros/fc10/os/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso 
/srv/nb/distros/fc10/os/i386/dvd iso9660 
_netdev,ro,loop,fscontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_t:s0 0 0

The resulting hierarchy can be exported using ftp, http, rsync, samba, etc.
