The ip change is part of some networking and hosting upgrades that we've undertaken to ensure the stability of the repository. We actually have 4 systems now that could be serving Central at any given time. There are 2 hosts in the UK and two virtual machines in the US (served from a 6 node cluster).
The IP you see today is the one we intend to maintain going forward, but you should allow rules for the following IPs just in case things are failed over for any reason: 207.223.240.88 : US primary 207.223.240.92 : US staging / standby 89.167.251.252: UK Primary 89.167.251.253: UK standby On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 11:44 AM, Paul Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > It seems the IP address for repo1.maven.org has changed twice in as many > days. > > Last week it appeared to be 38.97.124.18.
