Hi all,

Interesting... We (centos.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au, AS55803, 101.0.101.66) pull all of our CentOS content from centose7.centos.org (which resolves to 103.18.205.7), and we've had no problems at all.

Perhaps it may be related to msync.centos.org not redirecting the requests correctly? For starters, I receive an A Record for a msync node not even local to AU:
[root@mirror ~]# dig @pdns1.centos.org msync.centos.org +short

..and it seems to be having issues too! Perhaps that could be one of the reasons why the AU mirrors are all over the place..?

Hey Seamus

 

Just confirmed with a few people that our msync mirror is fine,

 

Can you A,  tell me your servers IP/hostname?

B, set your cron to use centose7.centos.org instead of mysnc hostname?

Greetings,

 

I was just wondering if there is something funny going on with msync.centos.org’s availability within Australia. I see it is geo-load balanced to various places around the world, but in particular in Australia we are (in many cases) sent to

 

103.18.205.7 - 7-205-18-103.static.glovine.com.au

 

 

That’s all well and good, but a quick look at http://mirror-status.centos.org/ reveals quite a few of the Australian mirrors have been all over the place over the last few weeks, which would somewhat suggest something is up with this mirror source?

 

Any clues?

 

Cheers,

Seamus
