This is my yum.conf which works great with duke's server.  I get the
same error as you have listed periodically, I assume it is during
updates or periods of too much activity on their end.

[root at galt root]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release

#[base]
#name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/


#[updates]
#name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - Updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/

[rawhide]
name=Red Hat Linux Rawhide - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/

Hope it works for you,
