I’m just wondering if this also means local failover since otherwise the redirector still would be a single point of failure (e.g. when it is down I’m screwed).

In case it isn’t implemented yet, would it please be possible that zypp gets a list of all mirrors (simply get the metalink for one of the files) per repository on running refresh. stores it locally and now, when the redirector isn’t available, simply falls back to the stored mirror list.

This would eliminate the last single point of failure and would make it really robust.

Also I would like to thank you for all the improvements you & your colleagues already added!
