After performing a fresh install of BOA 2.0.9, I get the following error after the Barracuda and Aegir master installs are completed:

Barracuda [Thu Oct 17 19:15:32 EST 2013] ==> BYE!

Bye

After running the boa in-stable... command again, it only returns:

I can not connect to github.com at the moment
I will try again in 15 seconds, please wait...
I can not connect to github.com at the moment
I will try again in 15 seconds, please wait...
I can not connect to github.com at the moment
I will try again in 15 seconds, please wait...
Sorry, I gave up.
Please check https://status.github.com and try again later.

Port 9418 is open for both TCP_IN and TCP_OUT, and the firewall service has been restarted per instructions https://groups.drupal.org/node/163784 .

After running the host command, all web addresses result in "Host domainname.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
" with the exception of the FQDN for the website. Unsure on the next steps to resolve this issue.

Issue summary: View changes

We have removed completely dependency on Github (and drupal.org) for downloads in stable, so those temporary connection
issues we have also experienced randomly, will no longer happen. There is also much better, curl based download logic in place now.

However, you shouldn't experience this in general on system level, because it means that DNS on the system got broken for unknown reason.

You can fix this temporarily by forcing Google DNS used directly:

rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >/etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >>/etc/resolv.conf

That said, we need your config and log files, as per bug submission guidelines, to provide any more specific advice.
