Is there a way to coax several hosts behind the same caching proxy to use the same URL as the 1st choice but still fail over and try others if there is a problem? And preferably without having to manually edit files on each machine or coordinate choices.

Fatestmirror does not work with a proxy server ... however you can adjust your yum.conf to use the priority failover method, from 'man yumconf':

===================================================================
failovermethod

     Either ‘roundrobin’ or ‘priority’.

‘roundrobin’ randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host.

‘priority’ starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them sequentially.

     failovermethod defaults to ‘roundrobin’ if not specified.
===================================================================

You can use baseurl=<firstchoice> at the top, then other ones after that. They will be picked in order.
