centos-yumconf is the package you want. Should be on the media.
1b) Can I use redhat repos?
Not without a subscription.
- What about the other guys, livna, dag, dries, freshrpms.
Which one of these is safe to use on a production server in conjunction with the repos used in answer to question 1 above?
Depends on your level of risk aversion/paranoia. This question has been thoroughly discussed on the mailing list. Check the archives.
2b Are the url's the same?
As the ones for Fedora? Probably, with the obvious substitutions.
