You could try something like this.

[core]
name=core
baseurl=file:///data/sw1/fedora/core/development/i386
              
http://newmirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386
 failovermethod=priority


The failovermethod=priority make yum always try using the baseurls from 
the top.

You could also add "enabled=0" to your [core] repo, to disable it by 
default, then the [cora] will be used.
