Just wondering if this is more of a single point of failure for updates?
e.g last weekend chunks of IP space inhabited by *.redhat.com were 
unroutable from here, causing me problems with yum/yumex.

Admittedly I probably exacerbated the issue by doing a "yum clean all" 
to try to solve the issue, which probably threw away all clues that 
yum-plugin-fastestmirror might have had to work around the issue, and 
meaning that I couldn't even drop back to using "yum -C"
