I'd like to suggest that /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
should contains a REPOSITORY variable, originally set to
REPOSITORY=http://download.fedora.redhat.com
with a note that this can be changed to a local repository,
with a link to the list of mirror sites.

Incidentally, I don't understand what ismeant by the remark
============================================
# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Depenencies
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.
============================================
at the end of the "sources" file.
Which repository is used if more than one is listed?
