Mike,

	I've just done regular mirroring of all of the os and updates
directories.  I've never had to do the yum-arch stuff.  On one
occasion, for a 1-2 day period the header's were broken.  However,
what I've noticed since then, is that most of the mirror sites
rebuild the headers on the site (if I rsync from multiple mirrors, I
always end up grabbing the header.info file each time, because the
timestamps are different).

	However, all that said, running yum-arch probably doesn't hurt
anything.

	Thanks,
		Kirby
