If your mirror is set up an a yum repo, then this should work just
fine.  Look for a "headers" directory containing a bunch of .hdr
files.  The headers directory could live almost anywhere above the
rpms themselves.  If it's not set up as a yum repo, you can always ask
the admins to make it so.  It's just a matter of running 'yum-arch'.
Very very easy.

BTW, the baseurl in yum.conf is just the url of the directory that
CONTAINS the headers directory.
