      <description>&lt;P&gt;An update today failed to download a VIB file from hostupdate.vmware.com&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Upon testing, this hostname is currently unresolvable. I have tested recursive resolution and resolving through various public DNS providers like cloudflare, google, quad9, etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a workaround? When will the hostupdate repository be back online?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;$ dig A hostupdate.vmware.com @1.1.1.1
