Description of problem: WHen customer tries to set up redundant proxy by follwoing the user guide it fails to use the secondary proxy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.4.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Here is the proxy setup doc for 5.4.1. https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html/Proxy_Installation_Guide/index.html serverURL=https://proxy1/XMLRPC; serverURL=https://proxy2/XMLRPC; serverURL=https://satellite_server/XMLRPC; would overwrite serverURL with the new value each time. try serverURL="https://proxy1/XMLRC; https://proxy2/XMLRPC; https://satellite_server/XMLRPC" I'm testing it right now, will edit this again when done -- done no that does not work on RHEL6 - I do not think this feature was kept with RHEL6. I think we should rather focus on the problem affecting the proxy here. also confirmed not to work for RHEL5. the yum-rhn-plugin stops at the first value ; the only way around that would be to change the value. if the customer needs this we can raise a bug if that documentation is still in RHEL5.8 but otherwise we would look into a RHEL6 RFE Actual results: The service will not use the secondary proxy in the config. Expected results: Additional info:
