Possible but for Foresight not very useful, since most Foresight use
is as a desktop.

But if you have Foresight, you can build custom images in multiple types
(but not Anaconda installable images!) with the flimage script I wrote
that is included in Foresight.  That works over the network and can use
local caches.  And that's how I've built myself images for server use,
both locally (hardware and virtualization) and in EC2.

It is unknown whether flimage will be useful (nor what modifications
are likely to be necessary) to build images from imported Fedora 20
(which project we're working on getting under way).

It works only as a web application.  The current recommendation is
to use nginx and gunicorn, but it can also work with Apache and
mod_python.

Yes. The repositories are not hard to set up, mirror, or cache.

Won't work as a Conary mirror...
