The Georgia Tech rsync server rsync3.us.gentoo.org needs some attention. It has two IPv6 addresses in DNS but it doesn't respond to connections on either one. The rsync mirror page says it's IPv4 only, so maybe it just needs the IPv6 addresses deleted from DNS (again?) like in bug 911751. It also has two IPv4 addresses in DNS and today I tried adding "sync-rsync-extra-opts = -4" to the repos/gentoo.conf file to use them. The server accepts connections on both addresses but immediately terminates them with "access denied". Log follows. # host rsync3.us.gentoo.org rsync3.us.gentoo.org has address 128.61.111.9 rsync3.us.gentoo.org has address 128.61.111.7 rsync3.us.gentoo.org has IPv6 address 2610:148:1f00:6f00:250:56ff:fe92:434b rsync3.us.gentoo.org has IPv6 address 2610:148:1f00:6f00:216:36ff:fe8e:1308 # emerge --sync >>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'... * Using keys from /usr/share/openpgp-keys/gentoo-release.asc * Refreshing keys via WKD ...

By the way, this might have been broken for a while. Someone else reported the same IPv4 access denied problem over a year ago in a comment to bug 585524.
