    You point up2date at a yum repo just like you point yum at a yum repo;
    you can't (AFAIK) just point up2date at a local yum cache. You can
    however set up a local yum repo, and have both yum and up2date use it.

    So for instance if you had the following in a repo definition in
    yum.conf or yum.repos.d/*.repo:

    [fedora-updates]
    name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
    baseurl=http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1

    Then the equivalent for up2date would be the following entry
    in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:

    yum updates-released-fc3 http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/3/$ARCH/

    A yum repo can be based on a file:// or a http:// or an ftp:// style
    URL.
