Yes.

Yes.

We only install up2date on one host and yum on the rest (yes, RHEL 3 and
4 with yum).  We then use my patched up2date to mirror all RHEL 3 and 4
channels using that single host (Red Hat would have you purchase RHN
proxy or satellite; unacceptable to us).  We make the channels available
as yum repos.

Patched up2date: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162210

We use yum on over 4,000 RHEL 3 hosts.
