How about an iptables rule to block the bad address? BTW... [d531][waltdnes][~] nslookup rsync.us.gentoo.org Server: 192.168.123.254 Address: 192.168.123.254#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 128.61.111.10 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 128.61.111.8 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 208.100.4.53 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 156.56.247.193 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 216.165.129.134 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 141.219.155.230 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 129.21.171.72 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 134.161.116.17 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 128.61.111.7 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 128.61.111.9 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 2607:f128:1:3::2 Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 2620:8d:8000:15:225:90ff:fefd:344c Name: rsync.us.gentoo.org Address: 2001:48a8:11:97d::84:84 An easy solution is to hard-code one working IP address in /etc/hosts as rsync.us.gentoo.org /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf has the "sync-uri". Is it legal to specify something like... sync-uri = rsync://128.61.110.10/gentoo-portage -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
