[CentOS-mirror] Mirror: centos-canada.vdssunucu.com.tr listed as Canadian mirror

Tue Nov 17 19:07:13 UTC 2020
LES.NET CentOS Mirror Admin <centos at les.net>

I'm also in Canada.

The IP addr seems to be OVH Canada, but OVH has really terrible reverse 
lookups, they drop the TLD, so there's no ovh.net or similar.

I can't currently ping the mirror server (ICMP echo request) but i do 
get a reply to HTTP, so good enough, i guess.

I'd like the mirror admin to respond to ICMP echo requests, however, 
it's helpful to users.

Cheers,
Jonathan
