The first error is expected, turned off satellite.  The second failure is not 
expected and works if set as primary.

I've been using failover for several years now in a different context,
RHN proxy server connected to hosted where we used the proxy server as
primary and the RHN hosted as secondary. You should see some logging
about the failed attempts in /var/log/up2date that might give you more
information about what is failing.
