Hi Sacha,

Yes, there was an issue on that node wrt ipv6 connectivity but it will
be back with a different address in the dns backend soon. I'm also
working on a dynamic backend for the geoip dns setup so that our
monitoring solution (zabbix) will be able to remove/add automatically
those nodes, based on tests results for ipv4/ipv6 and other potential
issues.

Thanks for the report !

Cheers,
