Description Andrei Slavoiu 2005-10-12 13:57:26 UTC
one of the IPs that distfiles.gentoo.org may resolve to belongs to "Oregon 
State University Open Source Lab" 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. issue the command `host distfiles.gentoo.org` 
2. 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
distfiles.gentoo.org has address 64.50.236.52 
distfiles.gentoo.org has address 156.56.247.195 
distfiles.gentoo.org has address 216.165.129.135 
 

Expected Results:  
64.50.236.52 is not the IP of a gentoo mirror so it should not be there. 
`host 64.50.236.52` returns 
52.236.50.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ftp-chi.osuosl.org.

hmm, think you are confused. those IP's in distfiles.g.o are all correct. the
open source lab is a host of one of those mirrors, and therefore reverse dns
resolves to them.

Ok, so the it's not a DNS problem. 
64.50.236.52 is indeed a gentoo mirror but they don't have a symlink in their 
root directory that points to distfiles so it does not work with portage. 
156.56.247.195 on the other hand is down. It was down yesterday and is down 
today. 
Comment 3 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-13 04:22:55 UTC
corey,

looks like its the chicago mirror. obviously the URL spits out a generic ftp
directory, not dropping you into the "gentoo root"...surprised we didnt notice
this before. or is it too early in the morning for me to see whats actually
going on?

on the other hand, the 156.56.247.195 mirror looks fine (thats gentoo.ussg). i
know it had some downtime a few days ago because of an admin misconfig, but
looks fine now.

Yes, 156.56.247.195 now replies to pings but still does not accept ftp 
connections.

Comment 5 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-13 07:38:02 UTC
It doesn't offer FTP on that interface.  Working as expected. 

Leaving open because of the Chicago issue.
Comment 6 Andrei Slavoiu 2005-10-13 23:09:46 UTC
How can it be expected? Isn't distfiles.gentoo.org a public server? How can it 
be ok for it to only listen on a private interface? 
Comment 7 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-14 03:17:33 UTC
because it offers its services over http.
Comment 8 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-14 12:09:31 UTC
Mike,

Can you take a look at this? 

15:00 <@cshields> if there is a bug in bugs.g.o reassign it to marineam@g.o  :D
15:00 <@cshields> I'm sure he'll like that
Comment 9 Corey Shields 2005-10-14 12:31:17 UTC
No, this is all working as expected.  "distfiles.gentoo.org" is a round robin
intended for http:// only.

Closing the bug.

Cheers.
