I've so far been unable to reproduce this. I've tested this by starting a live CD in KVM, installing an instrumented copy of apt, disconnecting the host from the network, and then running an apt-get update. The first hit to archive.ubuntu.com times out, subsequent attempts fail immediately, as expected.
