Yeah, that's it. I guess there is a firewall sending ICMP-packets back to clients:

rsync 131.211.85.22::
rsync: failed to connect to 131.211.85.22: No route to host
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83)

PING 131.211.85.22 (131.211.85.22) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From 131.211.0.18 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable
>From 131.211.0.18 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
>From 131.211.0.18 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

Could you just remove 131.211.85.22 from the eu-msync.centos.org A-record for time being until it's up again?
