Stale mirror for ftp.us.debian.org?
Hello
I'm currently having problems updating Lenny from ftp.us.debian.org.
It seems one of the mirrors has stale information for its Release and
Release.gpg file:
Sometimes when I connect with a browser I get this:

Sometimes after hitting ctrl-F5 the browser connects to a site that
identifies itself as the Oregon State Open Source Lab, which has newer
files:

Our current problem is that apt-mirror downloaded the Release file
from one site and Release.gpg from another, so obviously the signature
check fails and all packages are not authenticated.
Checking ftp.us.debian.org with dig says
;; ANSWER SECTION:
ftp.us.debian.org. 300 IN A 128.30.2.36
ftp.us.debian.org. 300 IN A 149.20.20.135
ftp.us.debian.org. 300 IN A 35.9.37.225
ftp.us.debian.org. 300 IN A 64.50.236.52
We've fixed this by manually using ctrl-F5 from a browser until our
proxy cached the right Release file, but that is less than ideal. Are
we getting old DNS information or are the mirrors out of sync?
Thanks
