Actually, a wee bit nicer:

# Multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used.
# Dependencies
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.
yum dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag
yum dries http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries

Apparently the day is coming that both should be integrated at RPMForge.

And if you are running Fedora, you can add a whole bunch of repos.
Hopefully in time CentOS will cause more repos to be brought online.
