Hi,

Is there a way to block updates from global ubuntu mirror and just point the clients to update from local ubuntu mirror ?

Thanks

Hi,
synaptic and Co. do not know about "local" or "global" mirrors. They
only know whatever is written in /etc/apt/source.list
If you put there the address of the local mirror instead of the one
actually there your system will get its updates from the local mirror as
you asked.

Hi

Is there a way to forcefully redirect the client to Local Ubuntu Mirror ? The reason being we do not want to choke Internet bandwidth while visiting Global Ubuntu Mirror.

Thanks

Yes, as Leo said, edit /etc/apt/sources.list (though he mis-typed the
file name).

Hi,

I have added the below entries in /etc/jesred.rules

regex ^http://((.*)archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/(dists|pool)/.*)$**

* http://172.26.0.164

regex ^http://(security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/(dists|pool)/.*)$*** http://172.26.0.164


and restarted squid

I have local ubuntu mirror 172.26.0.164 using deb-mirror method but still it points to Global mirror when i update the client Ubuntu PC

Please suggest

Personally I use the super easy method of "squid-deb-proxy".

On server install "squid-deb-proxy" and on clients install
"squid-deb-proxy-client". That's it.

All clients will find the proxy via Avahi. If the proxy isn't
available (for example if they are on a laptop and out of the office)
they will use their normal sources.list entries, but when in the
office where they can 'see' the proxy and discover it via avahi, they
use it.

Easy.

Al.
