RE: unknown host when attempting to mirror....

Interesting. I've tried using va1.php.net and the IP address it resolves to, and I still get the UNKNOWN HOST error. Using rsync on other sites is no problem. I scheduled a cron job using rsyc.php.net, and it hasn't run successfully even once in the last 7 hours. -----Original Message----- From: shimi [mailto:shimi@shimi.net] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 2:06 AM To: Pat Richard Cc: php-mirrors@lists.php.net Subject: RE: unknown host when attempting to mirror.... mostly at around 22:00 US time... but it changes... i mean, it really does. it's all around the day. try not using the cname (rsync) but instead use va1.php.net - maybe taking down the number of dns queries would help... or maybe simply try the IP and hope for it not to change =) On Fri, 4 Oct 2002, Pat Richard wrote: > Have you noticed a pattern as to the times of the day that it works? > I'd be happy if I could get it to synch once a day.
