I see. What I've been doing is pushing out a maven install tree with my <mirrors/> in the GLOBAL settings.xml and telling everyone to use that.
Here's the problem with your scheme: it leads to broken historical builds Tagged version 'N' of some project references corporate parent version 'P', which has some <repository> url in it. if we move nexus, it's dead. If the location of nexus is established by settings.xml, we don't have that problem.
