 	I believe yam can do repo mirroring, yes, although I don't know 
the details.
 	My yum-pull script ( http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull/ ) will pull 
down 19 different modules (core, atrpms, dag, dries, freshrpms...) for 25 
different distributions.
 	The docs are incomplete at this point, but getting there:

 	Cheers,
