Hi Kai,

My system(s) is(are) fine. If I have specific issues, I always, where 
possible, test on a different system and the dns server did the same on 
an x86_64 system.

With regards to specific patterns, actually, there was one scenario when 
it always seemed to fail and that was when I was using 'apt-mirror' 
manually (as opposed to from cron) to mirror debian security updates 
(plus others). No idea why that would be.

I'd be happy to carry out any test scenarios that you feel appropriate 
as the internal server does look like the way to go.

Cheers,
Mike.
