Generally speaking, you do not. Most mirror servers use rsync to *get*
the files and keep the mirror up-to-date. However, they then *serve* the
files out to their community via HTTP, FTP, and/or other mechanisms
(including apt-get, yum, NFS, or rsync).

You are welcome to serve those files to your community by any means you
choose; you do not need to use rsync to serve the files.

Cheers,
