anytime I try to wget a http://ftp.*.com/ site I get:

[foo@mysite ~]# wget http://ftp.drupal.org
--2010-07-06 10:25:29--  http://ftp.drupal.org/
Resolving ftp.drupal.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `ftp.drupal.org'

Dig gives me this:

[foo@mysite ~]# dig ftp.drupal.org

Any ideas?

I thought this was just me because I made some network changes the other day.

I also cannot wget anything from ftp.drupal.org. Doing:

wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/gl ... dev.tar.gz

produces the same error. Unable to resolve host address.

Everything else works fine, including:

wget http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/u ... OOTER.html

so I'm not having the same problem with all ftp.*

p.s: newark datacenter

Maybe a transient problem with Drupal or OSU's DNS configuration or a reconfiguration in process? I'm getting a much more complete dig response at the moment, even from the same server used in the original post (including additional records for the aliased ftp.osuosl.org) and wget seems fine.

Here's my current dig response from the same server as in the original post:

dig @resolver1.atlanta.linode.com ftp.drupal.org

Yes, working now.

Looks like it's been going on for at least a day as DNS servers catch up.
