It's called a local mirror. Use mrepo and set one up. Then you don't
need to worry if rpmforge is up, as you'll have fairly recent local
copies and can survive an outage. It also cuts down on your BW usage
as only 1 machine goes off the local net to get the stuff.

Hah yeah I just ran into this myself, trying to figure out why yum had
gone braindead and was just staring back at me. Finally (~10 minutes
later) it timed out and I realized the issue is that
http://apt.sw.be is currently unreachable. Since RPMforge's yum
configs are set up to pull a mirror list from that site, the whole
house of cards comes down when it's unavailable.
Hm... what's the point of mirrors if there's a single point of
failure? :D
We're having to rebuild a server today due to hardware failures, and
it's become significantly more difficult with rpmforge/dag having gone
all zen on us.
Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. I have servers to build.
