Hello--sorry it took so long to respond. And I apologize for the length of this
email.
Yes, the curl command returns an xml file. I included an excerpt from the

It appears I can talk to the server.
I do get a failed repo error for a pre-configured redhat repo which I was
ignoring before since I thought once the isc repository connected, then yum
installation would proceed. I tried disabling and removing the redhat repo
with yum-config-manager --disable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms and
subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms and I tried
skipping it with yum-config-manager --save
--setopt=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true ----but it still
displays when I run yum install isc-bind. Here is the complete message:
yum install isc-bind

To address this issue please refer to the below knowledge base article
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/69319
If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please open a ticket with
Red Hat Support.
One of the configured repositories failed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server -
Extras (RPMs)),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save
--setopt=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel-7-server-extras-rpms: [Errno 256] No
more mirrors to try.
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/extras/os/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden
I don't have access to the red hat repos yet.
Is this helpful?

Is something (e.g. policy) forcing you to set this repository up
manually? IMHO it would have been simpler with the "copr" yum plugin.
CentOS 7 allows installing it via "yum install yum-plugin-copr", though
RHEL 7 seems to not have heard of a "yum-plugin-copr" package, so you
have to prod it a bit (similarly for EPEL, which you are going to need
for libnghttp2 if you plan to use the stable "bind" repository, which
currently contains BIND 9.18):
# yum install
Caution-http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/yum-plugin-copr-1.1.31-54.el7_8.noarch.rpm
# yum install
Caution-https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
# yum copr enable isc/bind
# yum install isc-bind
(I just tested these commands on a fresh RHEL 7 Docker image.)

And does:
curl -v -k
Caution-https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/isc/bind/epel-7-x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
output an XML file? What IP is it trying to connect to? Are you able
to verify that yum tries to reach the same IP when you try to install
packages?

It is certainly within the realm of possibility. Copr is backed by a
CDN, so I can imagine a situation in which the specific host you are
connecting to from your vantage point is dysfunctional in some way while
others are working just fine.
