The correct syntax is to have one "baseurl" prefix for the first server
entry and the following failover server entries begin right with the
URI. See "man yum.conf" -> baseurl.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and comment all server sources in there
and put in those 2 Canadian mirror servers. Then yum and up2date are
using the same base. You then have the RHN applet for update
notifications and can use yum for all time package management.

Important annotation: the RHN applet is not capable of handling FTP
servers, so you better switch over to HTTP server adresses.
