An update today failed to download a VIB file from hostupdate.vmware.com
Upon testing, this hostname is currently unresolvable. I have tested recursive resolution and resolving through various public DNS providers like cloudflare, google, quad9, etc.
Is there a workaround? When will the hostupdate repository be back online?
$ dig A hostupdate.vmware.com @1.1.1.1
