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@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
