Here's another instance that's currently ongoing.

See how we get yesterday's cached copy of Release:

  $ for ip in $(dig +short mirror.peer1.net); do
        wget -q -O- --header="Host: mirror.peer1.net" \
                http://$ip/debian/dists/sid/Release \
                | egrep '^Date:|^ .{32} .* contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2' \
        done

  Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:08:57 UTC
   3210d739eeece691b3b1ec47cedba03c    57434 contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
  [... all IPs return the same file ...]


Yet the contents of contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 doesn't match:

  $ wget -q -O- 
http://mirror.peer1.net/debian/dists/sid/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 | 
md5sum

  93033735d1753436a85547c99f71d174  -


That's because it matches today's Release:

  $ wget -q -O- http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/Release | egrep 
'^Date:|^ .{32} .* contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2'

  Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:07:12 UTC
   93033735d1753436a85547c99f71d174    57449 contrib/binary-i386/Packages.bz2


(BTW, I also confirmed this from a different host, just to be sure my ISP
wasn't playing tricks on me.)
