It never made sense to me how the client rhn_register would work, etc and being 
able to fail over by simply adding a satellite to the up2date file.

Because, duh.  You have to have satellite setup in a failover configuration as 
outlined in the satellite_failover.pdf

Which makes perfect sense. My problem is that I just don't want to use the 
external db.  The only defense I have is that the client configuration document 
that shows howto setup client failover could reference that fact.

Sorry for being dense,

A bit more testing and I see it does still work on RHEL4 systems,
fails on RHEL5 systems, haven't tested RHEL6 yet.
