#51346: nou.nc: "default" host for New Zealand: ping succeeds, HTTP times out -----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: admin@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by macports@…): Relatedly, the [[https://guide.macports.org/chunked/internals .configuration-files.html|configuration documentation]] seems vague as to what one actually puts in `host_blacklist` for instance to avoid a particular mirror. Eg `nou.nc` or the [wiki:Mirrors three variations on the name] for `rsync`, `distfiles` and `packages`. For now I've listed all four, viz: {{{ host_blacklist nou.nc nou.nc.rsync.macports.org nou.nc.distfiles.macports.org nou.nc.packages.macports.org }}} which does seem to have worked to avoid nou.nc (and thus the timeouts).
