linux yum - yum fastermirror安装配置使用

【基本介绍】
yum  is  an  interactive,  rpm  based, package manager.（yum是一个包的管理器）
yum可以简化系统软件更新的工作。为了保证更新的持续进行，通常都会提供多个mirror（镜像）地址供下载使用，但由于存在地域问题，从不同的镜像下载速度差异很大。选择从适合的镜像下载软件包，会极大的影响更新速度。以CentOS为例，可使用一个叫fastestmirror的插件，让yum在更新时先根据ping值进行判断，然后从最快响应的地址下载。
这里介绍fastermirror.

【安装配置】
从CentOS5.0开始fastermirror就默认安装了，我们这里主要介绍配置
1.安装

yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror

2.验证

[root@pandaVM script]# 
[root@pandaVM script]# yum search yum-plugin-fastestmirror
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

3.配置
fastestmirror里面的enable=1

[root@pandaVM script]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf 
[main]
enabled=1
verbose=0
always_print_best_host = true
socket_timeout=3
#  Relative paths are relative to the cachedir (and so works for users as well
# as root).
hostfilepath=timedhosts.txt
maxhostfileage=10
maxthreads=15
#exclude=.gov, facebook
#include_only=.nl,.de,.uk,.ie

yum.conf里面的plugins=1

[root@pandaVM script]# cat /etc/yum.conf 
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=5
bugtracker_url=http://bugs.centos.org/set_project.php?project_id=16&ref=http://bugs.centos.org/bug_report_page.php?category=yum
distroverpkg=centos-release

#  This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
#  It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
# metadata_expire=90m

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@localhost ~]# cat /var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt

【问题】
遇到一个yum在执行的时候一直卡在寻找最佳mirror地方，我们可以在mirrorlist里面找几个地址ping一下，发现都不通。其实是域名解析有问题。
