No, not using a proxy.

Interesting, I changed nothing on the FC5 but used to yum to load 1805 
kernel.
   yum update kern*
When that completed, I rebooted to get to the new kernel.  Simple things 
I tried seemed to work, except yum because of the baseurl problem.

I agree, it seems like a network problem at the mirror end.  The fact 
that I had the problem occur on the FC4 host, with NO changes to that 
host, and recover with NO changes to that host, makes me suspicious of 
magic at the other end.
