Hi All,
I have noticed that there are are 2 duplicate mirrors, different hostnames resolving to the same IP address. Is this common practice? I believe that this is not appropriate because if the server goes down, it takes out 2 "mirrors".

What is the normal procedure for this sort of situation? Removal of one of the hosts appears to be the only appropriate solution.

True, I don't think arrangement is a good idea.
$ host mirror.crucial.com.au mirror.crucial.com.au is an alias for mirror.digitalpacific.com.au. mirror.digitalpacific.com.au is an alias for mirror02.digitalpacific.com.au. mirror02.digitalpacific.com.au has address 101.0.120.122 mirror02.digitalpacific.com.au has IPv6 address 2401:fc00:0:201::2
I've now marked mirror.crucial.com.au as disabled for now, and CCed them for possible extra information.
Hi Anssi and Christopher,
I happened to just see this email now as I was catching up on emails to this mailing list.
We (Hostopia Australia) are responsible for mirror.digitalpacific.com.au.
Long story short, mirror.crucial.com.au was consolidated into mirror.digitalpacific.com.au a while ago as a part of Digital Pacific's acquisition of Crucial.
This one would be my fault as I had taken care of this particular consolidation. The use of a CNAME was purely to avoid potential issues from users who had hard-coded repos into their servers (I am sure you can understand this).
I can only really say that notifications to mailing lists was one of the last things on my mind during the time of consolidation (there was a lot going on), although feel free to remove mirror.crucial.com.au from the list. Apologies if this had inconvenienced anyone.
Last thing is, the contact for mirror.digitalpacific.com.au should be networking@digitalpacific.com.au
Feel free to reach out to me directly should you have any questions.
Thanks!
Regards, Matthew.
