Can you actually reach this site with your browser?
I had this error once because I had http_proxy defined
as an environment variable.
But yum error messages are really bad.
What is a "failover method"?
Is there a word "failover" in English?
(Webster's Dictionary doesn't know of it.)
I guess you could try "yum -d 3 update" or some number instead of 3.
