You could combine the failover with the "conventional" multirepo access of yum like [fastbutabitoutdated] name=fastbutabitoutdated baseurl=url://somewhere/somepath [master] name=masterbutfailessometimes baseurl=url://somewhereelse/somepath url://somewhere/somepath i.e. put your local mirror at front and as a failover to the master mirror, ensuring manximum bandwidth when the package is available at the local mirror and also being up to date with failover. -- Axel Thimm physik fu-berlin de
