Well, the first guys implementing the "standard" (yum) do actually
support multiple urls. libzypp supports it code-wise, but it is not a
feature, mainly because the behavior is undefined:

from yum man page:

*baseurl*
    Must be a URL to the directory where the yum repository's 'repodata'
    directory lives. Can be an http://, ftp:// or file:// URL. You can
    specify multiple URLs in one baseurl statement. The best way to do
    this is like this:
    [repositoryid]
    name=Some name for this repository
    baseurl=url://server1/path/to/repository/
    url://server2/path/to/repository/
    url://server3/path/to/repository/

    If you list more than one baseurl= statement in a repository you
    will find yum will ignore the earlier ones and probably act
    bizarrely. Don't do this, you've been warned.
