Here from testing - which works properly:

$ rpm -q yum
yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.rh90

/etc/yum.conf contains (the failover addresses commented out for
testing):

[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/os/$basearch/
#

#

gpgcheck=1

[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - updates
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/$releasever/updates/$basearch/

$ yum -d 5 update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)

Getting header.info from server

Finding updated packages

I suggest: rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
and put a trailing slash at the end of each baseurl entry (just to be
sure).

As being Australian I recommend setting up the Australian mirror servers
in yum.conf and maybe the fedoralegacy.org main server as a failover
baseurl.

P.S. Please use a different mailer or at least send plain text formatted
mail please. You are sending HTML formatted "goulash" - very hard to
read. It has the form:
