Normally the second attempt is successful. (Indeed it is *every* second
attempt for me)

I can't make it fail within OpenOffice. From my network I always get it to execute normally.

First attempt:
$ ping ooo-updates.apache.org
PING ooo-updates.apache.org (195.154.151.36) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from tlp-eu-west.apache.org (195.154.151.36): icmp_seq=1 ttl=50
time=28.1 ms ...
Second attempt:
$ ping ooo-updates.apache.org
PING ooo-updates.apache.org (140.211.11.105) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from themis.apache.org (140.211.11.105): icmp_seq=1 ttl=44
time=184 ms
themis.apache.org has a significant higher response time. AOO seems to
time out.

I was always getting the first one. After many attempts I actually got the second one. Ping was still OK, even if not as stable/fast as the first server: much slower response times (worst case 300ms over 100 attempts) and less reliability (1 packet lost in 100).

Still, I hard-coded the second IP in my /etc/hosts file and I still managed to check for updates (OpenOffice updates, not extensions updates) normally.

Can someone confirm this? If yes, would it be something for Infra?

Possibly, something along the lines of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/INFRA/issues/INFRA-15822

But it is the same set of servers as the main site, so the issue is probably at a different level:

$ dig ooo-updates.apache.org
