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.
