No, it is currently Fedora 12.  All of my systems will be updated to 
Fedora 14 when it is released, and this problem I am having is resolved.

I do not use yum directly to download the updated RPM files, I use LFTP 
in a script to find and download all of the new SRPMS and RPM filess in
the RedHat repository, put them in my local package repository, update 
one system manually to make sure the updates will work, and if that works 
okay, auto update with Yum the rest of the systems using the local 
repository.  This save download time and I get the SRPMS files along with 
i386 and X86_64 RPM files, and all files that are downloaded get archived 
for recovery purposes,  I have been using this process in its various 
forms at least since Fedora 5 was released.  Yes, even before Yum was 
released.  This process has worked until this connection problem started 
occuring.

I verified the 209.132.183.67 IP address both foward and reverse on my 
local systems and on some remote systems to which I have shell access. 
The DNS lookup information was the same in each case.

I run Bind on two servers in a rather usual configuration.  DNS resolution 
is not the problem here, the correct information is being returned 
regardless of which system, local or remote, is doing the query.

The firewall is handled in a seperate configuration.  None of its rules 
have been changed in quite some time.

I did use the traceroute, as another user suggested, using the "-T" 
option and TCP SYNs, and received 30 empty hops.

Thank you JB for your reply.
