Hi all,
 new daily.
 merged the failover patch, cleaned up a few things, in misc places:

failover conf file syntax is pretty simple:

[myserver]
name=myserver name
baseurl=http://firstserver/path/
        http://secondserver/path/
        http://thirdserver/path/
        http://fourthserver/path/
failovermethod=roundrobin


failovermethod can be roundrobin or priority, others could follow.

failovermethod defaults to roundrobin

roundrobin chooses one at random then marches through them in sequence
priority goes from first to last, in order.

if yum fails to contact a  server then it is dropped from the list for
that run.

Thanks to Jack Neeley for that feature, it's spiffy.

tarball:
http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/daily/yum-20030528.tar.gz

noarch rpm for rhl 9:
http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/daily/yum-1.97-20030528.noarch.rpm

src rpm for whatever:
http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/daily/yum-1.97-20030528.src.rpm

let me know what breaks.

Thanks
