"really work".  good question ...

well,  i'd had a repeatedly failing repo this morning, and added a
second baseurl.

it then worked.

what i did NOT check, is whether it actually failed-over.

checking with,

 cat OS11-update.repo
  [OS11-update]
  name=OS11-update
  enabled=1
  autorefresh=1
  baseurl=http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1X
  baseurl=ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/update/11.1
  type=rpm-md
  priority=30
  keeppackages=0

the 1st URI should fail ...

 zypper clean OS11-update
  Specified repositories have been cleaned up.

 zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update

[done]

if i s/11.1X/11.1/g, then,
 zypper clean OS11-update
 zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update

i get the same,

 zypper -vvvvv ref OS11-update
  Verbosity: 5
  Non-option program arguments: 'OS11-update'
  Initializing Target
  Specified repositories: OS11-update
  Checking whether to refresh metadata for OS11-update

[done (714 B/s)]
  Repository 'OS11-update' is up to date.
  Specified repositories have been refreshed.

so, it looks like the answer to your question is, "no".

and i've been just lucky :-/
