Re^2: CPANplus 5 minute timeout

Thank you for the pointer to the CPp options.

If you look at packets 490 and 491, you will see that the IP for mirror1.kernel.org comes from CPAN's DNS server, not from any user configuration. They seem to have some dynamic mechanism to supply multiple values. Today 2 other IPs appear in answer to:

[Sherlock]> host ftp.cpan.org
ftp.cpan.org is an alias for ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com.
ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com has address 69.31.115.210
ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com has address 207.57.106.5

It is always better to have seen your target for yourself, rather than depend upon someone else's description.
