Ha ha ha, it really does split a single apt-get update into two different places completely across the Internet.
Any maybe even for singular servers like rocky-mountain... maybe upstream from it is the same splitting problem somewhere. Anyway here we go: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable contrib # tcpflow -i ppp0 & # apt-get update # ls -og /tmp/m -rw-r--r-- 1 146150 Aug 6 05:54 064.050.233.100.00080-218.163.001.135.45826 -rw-r--r-- 1 68985 Aug 6 05:54 199.006.012.070.00080-218.163.001.135.56243 -rw-r--r-- 1 185 Aug 6 05:54 218.163.001.135.45826-064.050.233.100.00080 -rw-r--r-- 1 1432 Aug 6 05:54 218.163.001.135.56243-199.006.012.070.00080 $ host ftp.us.debian.org ftp.us.debian.org has address 128.30.2.36 ftp.us.debian.org has address 199.6.12.70 ftp.us.debian.org has address 35.9.37.225 ftp.us.debian.org has address 64.50.233.100 ftp.us.debian.org has address 64.50.236.52 ftp.us.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:500:61:28::70 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
