That's really a yum problem because it is too dumb to understand
the concept of multiple A records.  By comparison, IE isn't bothered
much at all by a few dead sites in the returned list of addresses
so getting it right can't be all that difficult. 

With Centos, I only pull one copy into my squid cache and other
machines find it. With fedora, it never matches and clutters my
cache with many copies of the same thing as well as bothering
the mirrors with unneeded traffic.
