I'm actually not able to connect to that host:

# curl
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=extras"
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host


Which lead me to discover that our entire network is picking up "
mirrorlist.centos.org" as 204.15.73.243, which I'm not able to ping
from
any host in a few different countries I tried.

However, if I ping mirrorlist.centos.org from Europe, it resolves
to 84.22.180.89, or from USA it resolves to 88.150.173.218, or from Asia it
resolves to 108.61.16.227.

Could there be an issue with this specific mirrorlist server
(204.15.73.243)?
