[SOLVED] wrong mirrorlist centos ipv6

[driesp]

Hi guys

We are using ipv6.
And are always redirected towards US mirrors.

If i do
wget http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6 ... fra=x86_64
the list shows all US mirrorservers.

However we are located in Belgium.

Our ipv6 range is a half year old.
Geoiplookup6 with the latest database works well.

I believe the IPv6 mirrorlist uses the MaxMind database for country lookups. Does https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo give you the correct country?

[driesp]

Yes it does.

Maybe the mirrorlist geo database is out of date...

Could you post your ipv6 address (or PM it to me or avij if you don't want it listed publicly).

So, I just tested from a simple Belgacom (home VDSL2) connection, with native ipv6 (so not using my he.net tunnelbroker anymore) and I'm correctly redirected to mirrors in .be (basically belnet.be)
As said, it would be good to know your ipv6 address/range

[driesp]

I've send you all a pm with our ipv6 address.

Our ipv4 range is the same age, 6 months old, and is receiving the correct list (Belgium mirrors)

In the beginning, when both ranges where justly announced, I thought, maybe because the ranges are quite new it could take some time.
But we are a half year further now....
Which is the reason of my post.

I am getting this list over ipv6: (incorrect, but standard because of standard ipv6 preference)

Code: Select all

Hi

Is there any update yet?
I am sure we are not the only one having this problem.
This could potentially cause slow download speeds for many users.

The geoip database probably needs updates.

Kind regards.

the guy administering that mirrorlist ipv6 node has been contacted for this, and task is assigned to him.
Hope to be giving news soon.
Also, forums is surely not the best place to post such issue, but rather https://bugs.centos.org

This issue should be resolved now. Please verify.
