can i sugest going with a common format used my most mirrors  that way what is 
on the fedoralegacy server will match that of the mirrors.  I plan on having 
a mirror of Legacy if the deal with the hosting company i have been dealing 
with works out.

I wouldnt worry about the symlink to SRPMS   but would put in the RPMS dir 
then break down to archs for example

download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/7.3/RPMS/i386/legacy-addons
download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/7.3/RPMS/ppc/legacy-addons
download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/7.3/SRPMS/legacy-addons

for example 

 [base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/RPMS/$basearch/base
gpgcheck=1

to set for a mirror


 [base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever base
baseurl=http://somemirror.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/RPMS/$basearch/base
gpgcheck=1

if we get the structure set right on our server then the user should only need 
to swap in the name of the mirror server.  the way redhat has set things for 
there download  makes it a little bit harder for users to easily config yum 
and apt to use a mirror server.  fedora.us is the same the 
whole /fedora/fedora thing is strange  it should be /pub/fedora  but it is a 
good start.
