BTW, the easiest way to figure out which frontend you're hitting is to 
look at the output of "host www.kernel.org", e.g.:

$ host www.kernel.org
www.kernel.org is an alias for git.kernel.org.
git.kernel.org is an alias for ord.git.kernel.org.
ord.git.kernel.org has address 147.75.58.133
ord.git.kernel.org has IPv6 address 2604:1380:4020:600::1

The three-letter airport code should indicate where the frontend is 
located (in my case, ORD = Chicago). There are total of 6:

sea.git.kernel.org - Seattle
lax.git.kernel.org - Los Angeles
ord.git.kernel.org - Chicago
fra.git.kernel.org - Frankfurt
sin.git.kernel.org - Singapore
syd.git.kernel.org - Sydney

Geodns magic should send you to the nearest one, and if the monitoring 
recognizes that one of them is down, it will be automatically removed 
from the pool until it recovers.
