Well, I don't think that will help. 

I think the problem here is that there is a proxy in the way and it's
not handling the mirror redirection right. 

See:

(question 5)

If you edit your /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files, comment the mirrorlist=
line (with a # at the beginning of the line), and add a baseurl= line
pointing to a single site, does it work?

$releasever is filled in by your release... you are using centos5, so
it's a "5". $basearch is your machine arch, so i386 or x86_64 or ppc or
whatever type of machine you have.
