[IUG] URL Checker Question

["David McDonald" <Mcdonads at gov dot ns dot ca>]

Each month the URL checker reports many (over 600) "network is unreachable (-7)" errors.  When I manually check these URLs they are fine.  Other errors are reported correctly.  So I know that the URL Checker does work and it can penetrate the firewall.
 
In 99.9% of cases the URLS reported are contained on servers maintained within our firewall, so I suspect this is a firewall issue, but I can't be certain.
 
Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Anyone know of a solution? Is this a firewall issue?
 
Thanks
