Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'epel': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

[Rajiv Baxi]

I had a similar issue with updating through a firewall... I had to manually
add each mirror's hostname to the firewall.

Kaushal, the easiest way would be to allow all outbound traffic to ports 80
and 443 from the Fedora Box. I understand that this may not be feasible.
The alternate would be run yum, wait for it to timeout and it should show
which mirrors were attempted. Then, whitelist those domain names and repeat
as necessary. This could be a very tedious process.

Thanks,

Rajiv Baxi
