[Spacewalk-list] CentOS 4 repository setup?

Is there a quick way to tweak the repositories in spacewalk for the
*CentOS 4* channels, so that I can get a final, last set of packages for
that rev (that I can then turn around and apply to a bunch of hosts that
are unfortunately still at CentOS 4).
I am able to manually do this on a GIVEN HOST by changing the "baseurl"
setting within /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. (BTW, I've assumed that
I've needed to do this on a very specific version-by-version basis: E.g.,
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/4.9/os/$basearch/
[Note the *4.9* in this case]
I'm hoping to avoid doing this on a host by host basis, so would like to
leverage spacewalk, so...
Can I simply change "Repository URL" for each CentOS 4 repo from its
current (for example)
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4&arch=i386&repo=os" to something
else? If so, what would that something else BE
("http://vault.centos.org/?release=4&arch=i386&repo=os" does NOT work).
Relatedly, do I need to be concerned about the 4.7 vs 4.8 vs 4.9, etc
issue?
Thanks for any insight!
Andy
