That's the base repository. If you're hosting a local mirror you might
consider rsyncing the updates directory as well. .../4/updates/i386/
The base repository won't change until there's a new point release
(4.3), and you should probably use /4/ instead of /4.2/ to ensure that
you get the point release updates when they're released.
Also, the alert tool you're referring to uses sources listed in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, not the usual yum configs in
/etc/yum.repos.d/
