[Leaplist] FC% yum question ....

.... I just got done updating Samba & yum on my FC5 box using yum. I 
(supposedly) have my repo files setup to preferentially use my ISP as 
the primary repo, since they are 1 of the 20 or 30-odd official RH 
mirrors & only 1 hop away. However, I could tell from the sloth of 
downloads (& sporadic FTP errors messages) that yum was using other 
repo's. How do I tell yum to prefer 1 repo (my ISP), but fall back to 
the mirror list if necessary ? Also, how could I get it to report what 
repo it is using w/o tons of other extraneous info ? I did RTFMP's, but 
apparently missed it if it is there :-) .... TIA
