Hostname you could also look up via reverse DNS (if you can rely on that).

I do something like this:

[oliver at pils ~]$ grep include /etc/yum.conf
include=http://conf.rpms.linux-kernel.at/GetRepositories.pl?releasever=devel&arch=$arch&basearch=$basearch

You can guess how the script looks like (just a hint, it supports RHEL
and Fedora)...

Best,
