Hello, Robie!

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu Server from the releases.ubuntu.com cd repository. Once the server was installed (14.04.2), I installed and configured a mirror with squid-deb-proxy. I set it up so it would work with a DNS redirect. So, I had custom DNSs, and they pointed archive.ubuntu.com to my mirror (172.16.224.222). However, when users started using apt-get, it started giving 403 errors. The errors went away when we removed the . at the start from .archive.ubuntu.com, which changed from ".archive.ubuntu.com" to "archive.ubuntu.com". Yes, this was the change that stopped giving the 403, since we were tailing the logs and it stopped as soon as we removed the dot and restarted squid-deb-proxy.

If you need any more details, feel free to let me know. I'll be glad to help.
