I can't seem to resolve archlinux.uk.mirror.allworldit.com. I get a CNAME to uk.mirror.allworldit.com, but I don't get any IP for uk.mirror.allworldit.com. Any idea what's wrong there?

Nevermind. It appears to have fixed itself after a restart of my unbound.

I've added your mirror. As for tier 1 status: I'm not sure yet if we want another tier 1 mirror so close to Central Europe, but I'll keep this report open a decide in 6-9 months.

Checking the mirror status it looks like half of the servers checking cannot resolve DNS.

The only thing I can think of is its because this domain has DNSSEC enabled? All 3 NS clusters are definitely resolving correctly and our monitoring systems are not showing any break in connectivity or delays in answering DNS requests.

Also, its not showing up as "IPv6 Yes" when its IPv6 enabled.

It looks like the problem resolved itself a few hours ago and all checkers can now resolve the domain. Since I have no idea what could have been wrong, I'll ignore this until it happens again. I've checked with some DNSSEC validation tools and it looks like all name servers resolve just fine.

As for the IPv6 status: This is updated only every 12 hours and I'm assuming that due to the resolution failures it was updated incorrectly. I've now manually triggered an update and it now shows as IPv6 capable. Future checks will now also test the mirror via IPv6.

Given you have a South African mirror as well ( FS#61217 ) I think this is a good candidate for tier 1 status in 6-9 months.

Are you still interested in becoming a tier 1 mirror?
Comment by Nigel Kukard (nkukard) - Sunday, 15 November 2020, 12:49 GMT
Yep, pretty sure both of my mirrors have been pretty stable for some time :)
Comment by Florian Pritz (bluewind) - Sunday, 15 November 2020, 13:10 GMT
Wow, that was fast! Thanks ;)

I've promoted you to tier 1.

Please switch to one of the *_tier1 modules on "rsync://rsync.archlinux.org". You'll probably want "rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1". Reply here once you've switched so I can close this request.

If you want to sync more often than once an hour, please consider using a script like this[1] to reduce the amount of rsync traffic when there are no changes.
