Yep, I saw it too a bit earlier. :-(
I wonder if the server is under high load or DDoS attack?

another upgrade, where it caused problems with a security server?
yes, it happened with Xfree86 upgrade. 2 new servers were then introduced in
order to prevent this problem from re-appearing.
However this does not _seem_ to be enough, and I guess it's due to "feature"
of glibc, that sorts IP addresses from numerically lowest one to numerically
highest one (so it spoils attempts for DNS load-balancing), so if any program
is the order of addresses returned via gethostbyname() or getnameinfo(), it
tries them always in the following order:
% getent hosts security.debian.org
128.101.240.212 security.debian.org
212.211.132.32 security.debian.org
212.211.132.250 security.debian.org
