You use 1 machine as your mirror, it syncs say once a day or week or hour whatever off the main cvs mirror sites. You then have your other machines sync off that. This would ensure all your systems are kept in line with the same src. This would save on bandwidth for both yourself and the mirror sites. Cheers, Jeff
