wgetting http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc3 shows a list of possible mirrors and I assume yum randomly selects one to use each time (resulting in each request behind a proxy hitting a different mirror). What would be ideal is if that url was dynamic and returned a single mirror url for yum to use.
You would loose the ability to fail over to another mirror if something was wrong with that one URL. A
I don't care. My experience with Debian's setup suggest that, while this happens, it's rare.
It could reduce the load on FRC - yum could continue to use the one it has until it does break.
I actually don't think Red Hat can do this; it can't know which Western Australians should ose WAIX and which should not. Potentially, that answer can change from one day to the next.
In contrast, FRC doesn't even publish a current list of Australian mirrors Australians might consider.
