That's an interesting idea...easiest to put the change in my /etc/hosts file, but same effect.
As long as you use dnsmasq, because you get an error (NXDOMAIN). If you use the hosts file, the syntax is different, and you have to redirect to 127.0.0.1, which will produce a download error later.
Or, you can directly create your own list of servers instead the official one:
/etc/zypp/repos.d/Example.repo
I have done that with other mirrored services, since a few I knew of several mirrors "over the hill" (Silicon V.)... Will have to take a look at that -- if it is already populated, I can truncate the list to local servers...
You have to go to: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/ and then click on "mirrors" to get the mirror list for your site. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
