Now the scenario is this. I have a local yum-repository of RH9 updates, from which I deleted several corrupted rpms, so it is missing some rpms...about 15 of them. In the update url, I have given two urls...first of the local repository and second of the duke mirror. Now, when yum reaches the first missing file, it switches to the second failover url of the duke mirror, but it does not switch back to the faster and local mirror for getting other files. It keeps downloading files from the remote, ignoring the local repository. I think yum should know of the local repository and switch to the remote intelligently only for a specific file. However, if this problem is due to my misconfiguring the yum.conf file,I am reproducing it below. Please advise.
