I wanted to try InstantMirror, but was in a rush. I just used a basic squid setup. Are their any advantages of using it as a reverse mirror vs. regular squid usage?
Regular squid wont be able to effectively cache if MirrorManager is telling you to use random mirrors. If you use MirrorManager you could receive the same local (reverse proxy) mirror as the first mirror every time if yum is used from your network block.
