Thanks, Corey,

My apologies, should have checked with another DNS resolver.

I shall report this DNS fault to our site admin.

Thanks for your speedy reply.

Hello,

I suspect this probably has been reported, but just in case it has not.

The download servers ftp, ftp1 and ftp2 has been unreachable from most of today.

Always check DNS from an alternate resolver before reporting an issue:

cquinn@quinntendo ~ % host ftp.scientificlinux.org

ftp.scientificlinux.org is an alias for linux9.fnal.gov.

linux9.fnal.gov has address 131.225.110.147

cquinn@quinntendo ~ % host ftp1.scientificlinux.org

ftp1.scientificlinux.org is an alias for linux21.fnal.gov.

linux21.fnal.gov has address 131.225.110.41

"Works for me."
