setting up local OMSA repo for an internal network

Has anyone set set up a local repo for the OMSA repo?  Like many admins, 
I like to bless packages from a local source before pushing them to my 
servers.

I'm rsync'ing the the repo through a cronjob (rsync -avzL  
rsync://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/* $docroot/OMSA/) to my 
local update server (and put the GPG keys in the $docroot), but the yum 
repo client configuration is a little more difficult than the CentOS 
update repo (since it's not immediately obvious what all the flags are 
here).

Could anyone offer a correction to my host configuration?

Thanks!
