wget to a single specific url from one of my servers keeps getting timeouts. All other urls from this box work fine. This url works OK from any other boxes I have. Here's the output:
wget -T 10 http://www.fcc-fac.ca

Can you tell me what might be wrong and how can I troubleshoot it? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (GNU/Linux 2.6.38-8-server x86_64)
Thank you very much in advance and forgive my noobish ignorance 🙂
ping, telnet, nc www.fcc-fac.ca 80 – all hang. However, some other urls that are easily wget'able though only some of their hosts are pingable.
traceroute doesn't tell me much:

I think that the problem is that wget doesnt handle well IPv6 addresses and the DNS server is sending a IPv6 for that site. Sorry if I misunderstood your question. Check those tests:
If I force IPv6 because I believe that your problem is related to it, it fails:
However if I force to use IPv4 it downloads right the index page
