Alan,
I have no problem, even using your custom baseurl. I would encourage
you to try sticking to the default mirrorlist if possible. I have had
great success with that.

This is very strange - has been happening the last few days. I just
upgraded this system from 5.3 to 5.7 on Monday and the problem started
some time after that (but not immediately because I know I used yum
Monday evening after the upgrade)
I get the following error from yum, but it goes away if I --disablerepo=epel
The funny thing is that the listed xml file I can easily wget from this
system.
Also having the issue with other 5.7 systems that were upgraded from 5.3
several weeks ago and had been working fine since.
I did some googling and found some things to try like "yum clean all"
and I even deleted the rpm database based on advice from one site, and
then rebuilt it from scratch. But nothing.

I just tried changing to each of these and got similar messages.
By what means does it go out to the repos? Just via http?
Is there something that may have been implemented on corporate firewalls
that may affect this?
Odd though that it would only affect EPEL
Is there a timeout value somewhere that I have set too low? Because
when I do a wget it takes some 5 to 10 seconds to connect.
