# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

Hmmm... still having the problem. It actually started at about 2 am eastern this morning (14 hours ago) not long after I did a "yum update" on a fresh image/reinstall. I wonder if an update may be the cause.
Hmm, well we added a bunch of mirrors a few weeks ago, so maybe its time to move the mirrorlist's off to another box. That at least should mitigate the problem until we get to the bottom of whats going on here.
Thought it might be a problem getting through the firewall. I haven't set up mod_security, apf, psad or anything on the box yet. I just have the default firewall running. I shut down the firewall and left it wide open but was still getting the same error.
I'm not sure what else to check on my end. I guess I'll check back from time to time and see if its changed. Seems odd that I'm the only one reporting this problem without it coming from my end... uh... so-to-speak...
Next I tried disney.com, google.com, ebay.com... they all work.
After that I went to a shared server account and tried both atomicorp.com and atomicrocketturtle.com with lynx and they both worked.
Again, this is still on a fresh install with only the default firewall running. The only thing I've done is run yum update from the ART repo then upgraded to 9.0.0
