Hi

From my end (Zurich, CH) of the internet can not reach one of the IPv6
backbone mirrors.

[..]
[root at mirror ~]# /usr/bin/rsync -6avzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS
/var/www/html/centos
rsync: failed to connect to msync.centos.org
(2001:1af8:4060:a006:223:7dff:feaa:426f): Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122)
[Receiver=3.0.9]

PS.: If in the case that endpoint is firewalled, please mind that ICMPv6
is a vital part of the IPv6 protocol and shall not be dropped but rather
be answered accordingly (rejected, prohibited, etc..)
This is part of the IPv6 RFC.

Kind regards
