is there a way of setting up a DNS ZONE where requests to this domain get somewhat like ‘not exist’?

Thanks, Walter

One thought on - Invalid Mirror .host-engine.com

  • Add a line of:

    “exclude=.host-engine.com”

    to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

    This will exclude from consideration all mirror FQDNs that contain that string.
