Hi Red Hat,

FYI:

Syncing to 66.187.224.20 / download2.fedora.redhat.com has resulted in
deleting(!)/downloading the crucial stuff below several times in the F9
tree over the last couple of hours.  Looks like there's a problem with
out-of-sync content between servers in your load-balancing setup again !
(behind the same IP-address).

I've disabled mirroring against RH for now and I'll try if the other
masters behave better.

PS: FYI: probably unrelated: there was a whole load of OLD update
    announcements sent out to fedora-package-announce at redhat.com
    (at least for F9, that's the only one I'm subscribed to).

	friendly greetings,
	Rob van Nieuwkerk
