I have narrowed down the problem to the SCM software we use, which runs every 20 minutes, and each time checks if certain packages are installed in their latest version. As far as i can tell, yum syncs each time with the repository, which get the servers kicked. I tried changing the "metadata_expire" in /etc/yum.conf to bigger values, but it didn't help either. Anyone have any ideas how to configure yum so it won't sync with the repository each time it is run?
