But another possibility (thinking about another thread).... [root@meimei enp2s0]# host docs.python.org docs.python.org is an alias for python.map.fastly.net. python.map.fastly.net has address 151.101.0.223 python.map.fastly.net has address 151.101.192.223 python.map.fastly.net has address 151.101.64.223 python.map.fastly.net has address 151.101.128.223 python.map.fastly.net has IPv6 address 2a04:4e42::223 python.map.fastly.net has IPv6 address 2a04:4e42:200::223 python.map.fastly.net has IPv6 address 2a04:4e42:400::223 python.map.fastly.net has IPv6 address 2a04:4e42:600::223 So that host has 4 IPv4 and 4 IPv6 addresses. Probably a long shot, but if the system isn't configured properly for IPv6 it may explain why it works sometimes and not others. In looking at wireshark earlier trying to see what a re-transmitted packet would be displayed I found my system seems to prefer IPv6 for that particular host. :-) Not sure what good tracepath would be since....
