My system has a mirror configuration where only the host can access a local caching service on localhost. So ignore localhost urls.
I'm curious, how this can happen / why this is desirable. Shouldn't the client be able to access the same network resources as the host? In general, my feeling is, that it is rather desired to repair the caching for the client than skipping it.
The host is running pacredir [0][1], which listens on localhost and redirects to hosts it found on local network. But pacredir returning 404 is a valid answer, it just means the file is not available in local network. In this case pacman just uses the next mirror. In fact pacredir is accessible form client, but things would break as it has just this single server configured. There is no fallback to a real mirror that has all the files required.
