Eh, it might be nice for them to do that, but we would have to either
change them or live with what we have.

In other words, maybe this is not the way DNS is supposed to be used,
but it is an assumption for “APT over HTTP” used on both ends (the
mirrors and the clients).  And this is a simple assumption that would
not be broken by any DNS cache.  It is the client’s responsibility to
use the same IP where it needs consistency.

Yes, I only meant that I have not empirically ruled out other causes.
But I do think we’ve found the problem.

Now to find some time to fix it. :)

Thanks,
