I believe yum already uses the servers in the order that they are listed in the yum.conf unless you are using the fastest-mirror plugin. If you have more than a handful of machines, you could be best suited with setting up a local repository with the packages that you use. I believe you can even do this with 1 machine that updates via yum to the outside world and then serve up the yum cache directory on that machine via http and point the other machines to the http server on that 1 master server.
