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. >> It does resolve correctly in the DNS: >> 209.132.183.67. > > How did you verify that (dig, nslookup, host) ? > From where did you verify it (your internal update server or client; or > perhaps outside-of-your-domain machine) ? > 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.

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 can connect to other FTP and web sites without any problems.
