Hello,

Thanks for the follow-up.

The SL-6.x update URL's all timed out starting last Tuesday, 8/18.

We hit several different mirrors.

After investigating from our side, we found that our LBL security monitoring blocked the SL-6 server ip.

I'm cc'ing our Security person who can describe why that happened.
The updates are now working.

Susan

How long has this been going on? And have you tried doing "traceroute"
between your local systems, and the SL mirrors? And given the
difficulty, why not use a more local mirror?

It's often a bit overwhelming to have hundreds or thousands of client
hosts hammering particular upstream mirrors: It's why I tend to
maintain a local mirror for feeding content to my local systems.
