Thanks for the tip... I compared the files on this server with others and found that they differed. I renamed "mirrors-rpmforge" and "rpmforge.repo" with an additional .backup. Both those files did not exist on our other servers. When I tried "yum update" again, it went after the rhn site only and worked through our firewall.
Cheers!

/etc/yum.repos.d/ is where the settings for the different repos are. It looks like rpmforge is having issues.

Subject: [rhn-users] Problems with Yum attempting to reach non-redhat mirror
I am experiencing an issue with one of our several RedHat servers getting Yum updates. A few weeks ago, Yum updates have been failing due to the fact that the server is asking a non-redhat (no in their IP block) device for updates. I see that the https session is being dropped by our firewall egress rules which is what I would expect because it is going after a different server than all the rest of my servers. The message I receive is...
------<snip>-----
[root at xxxyyyzzz ~]# yum update
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rpmforge. Please verify its path and try again
-----<end snip>-----
I cannot find anywhere how yum is configured to go after one mirror server or another. Can anyone help on this?
Cheers,
JDP
