kgoetz at wesnoth:~$ host ftp.au.debian.org
ftp.au.debian.org is an alias for mirror.linux.org.au.
mirror.linux.org.au has address 150.203.164.37
mirror.linux.org.au has IPv6 address 2001:388:1034:2900::25
mirror.linux.org.au mail is handled by 10 disco.mirror.linux.org.au.

Which iirc lives at ANU. Nice and quick :)
