This seemed to work.  It's still downloading headers but I can this header
has already been downloaded.

Can you explain why it works from this site but not the other?

Also, I'm a bit confused as to how I should be pointing at repositories.  If
my interest (for now) is to maintain an RH9 system with legacy RPMs but all
updates, will the following work:

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

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

Or will the 'base' stanza also handle any updates?

Also, what is the effect of adding a new stanza such as:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Older RH 
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
