From code, looks like there's a method already there. Just tested with my 
preferred server, and it works.

$ apt-cyg update 2>1 | grep Mirror
Mirror is ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin
--
$ echo "http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com" >/etc/setup/last-mirror

--
$ apt-cyg update 2>1 | grep Mirror
Mirror is http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com

the option is there:

$ apt-cyg
apt-cyg: Installs and removes Cygwin packages.
...
Options:
  --mirror, -m <url> : set mirror

As the option is there as shown in the comments, either for setting the mirron 
in a file or specifying it on the command line, I close this issue.
