Toggling the CDN support for a system in the webui/via xmlrpc should affect what the system does when using satellite-sync
To test: * install rhel 4.8 (for the latest rhnlib) * install a 5.3 satellite * edit /etc/rhn/rhn.conf and set xml_dump_version = 3.4 * run a satellite sync * come back tomorrow * remove a single rpm from /var/satellite/redhat/NULL * set your satellite's content-aware downloads to either y/n via the webui * run a satellite sync and watch /var/log/rhn/rhn.log on xmlrpc.back-webdev to see if it detects the pref correctly. * check the logs on the cdn instance to verify that it has/has not served the file. * repeat for the other setting
verified on dev
