CentOS - Nov 2016 - CentOS repo issue

I just built these servers, and the other admin added some more packages,
then we moved them into the datacenter.

I see errors from a cron job,
Could not get metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=x86_64 error
was
14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Unknown
error"

So I logged on, and ran yum list apcupsd, to see if it was having issues
getting epel, and got:
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64

Clues for the poor?

ping centos.org works, as well as nslookup.

Pinging and/or looking up centos.org might not be very useful as you
have a problem with epel @ mirrors.fedoraproject.org ;p . Time for
another cup of coffee?

I had thqat exact same issue just today with a 7.x box thats been 
running for months, I ran a yum provides, and got a bajillion fedora 
epel errors.

yum update fixed it, probably updated the epel repo.d file.
