Well, the best way to configure the RPMforge repository is to install the rpmforge-release package. It includes the configuration for using a mirror-list. I should put this into the RPMforge FAQ at: http://rpmforge.net/user/faq/ > It's just a bit of a pain to go comment you out on 6 or so machines in order > to get CentOS updates.

As it seems silly that 1 defunct mirror is blocking all other updates. > Thanks so much for all of your work. It is really appreciated and so well > done... Stuff like this is just so non-Dag-like. You're welcome. I have little to do with problems on the server/mirror side. Especially when problems seems random. I have no other access than my users for the HEAnet main mirror. And I have no alternative for HEAnet (especially since I don't know how much visitors or bandwidth is required to run the main mirror). I guess my best bet is to add contact-information for HEAnet available in the FAQ, but I am afraid to forward unrelated issues to them.
