Ok, so that means the GeoDNS for security.debian.org seems not working as expected in Asia. GeoDNS is a not a very exact technology, but this indeed looks wrong. > Hence, may I ask the people who are directly in charge of the Asian > mirror to provide a direct URL instead of http://security. > debian.org and let GeoDNS do the job. > > Or, am I asking too much? in which case I apologize for it. No, the request is valid IMHO. Nevertheless that's not how it's supposed to work (and I personally don't know any details about that security.debian.org mirror), so we need to have a closer look at the issue. Cc'ing the Debian Security team as IIRC the security mirrors are not maintained under the normal mirrors hat.
