Hi Axel,

we're using Pulp to mirror SL6 repositories too (also EPEL). Pulp is also used to handle our internal repositories.

There was an issue with SL's checksums in repomd.xml file but this has been solved already.

There is a documentation available which I followed during building our mirror.
http://pulp-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html
http://pulp-rpm-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

When you have pulp up and running adding a repo to sync is trivial:

pulp-admin rpm repo create --feed=http://mirror.itc.virginia.edu/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/ --repo-id=epel6 --relative-url=epel/6/x86_64/ --serve-http=true

pulp-admin rpm repo sync schedules create --schedule "2013-04-25T01:00:00Z/P1D" --repo-id=epel6

This will create mirror for EPEL6 and sync it once a day.

As you heaven't mentioned your troubles I suggest you reading and following docs and/or specify your problem, I'll be happy to help.
