I'm also a little bit confused about cdn.debian.net's behaviour. I'd
expect from the official primary mirror in a country to be returned at
least if I query cdn.debian.net from the host itself or the same
subnet. But that doesn't work on heustock.ethz.ch aka debian.ethz.ch
aka ftp.ch.debian.org:
root@heustock:~ # host cdn.debian.net
cdn.debian.net is an alias for deb.cdn.araki.net.
deb.cdn.araki.net has address 130.89.149.226
root@heustock:~ # host 130.89.149.226
226.149.89.130.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer kassia3.snt.utwente.nl.
root@heustock:~ #
IIRC someone said that all official mirrors are included in
cdn.debian.net's database. But what I get returned is
ftp.ch.debian.org's upstream mirror instead.
That's no big pitty though as the network connection between both is
cheap and fast. But anyway, it's surely not optimal and I did expect
to get the Swiss primary mirror, not the Dutch one.
Same happens from a commercial Swiss ISP (well, belongs to UPC now)
not connected to GEANT2 (as ethz.ch and utwente.nl are).
So no real problem here, but nevertheless unexpected results.
Kind regards, Axel Beckert
