Happens on random packages when requesting the log. for example: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/log/x11-base/xwayland/xwayland-9999.ebuild "Error 503 first byte timeout first byte timeout Error 54113 Details: cache-fra-eddf8230071-FRA 1711104682 1154224748 Varnish cache server" It is always cache-fra-... and it seems the cache is to slow.

Another side effect is https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/ listed commits are not up-to-date then.
