List of Apple Download servers

[adam9c1]

I am unable to find a list of Apple software download servers.

I have the following for upates FYI:
swcdn.apple.com
swdownload.apple.com
swquery.apple.com
swscan.apple.com

I assume that you're trying to set up some firewall rules or something...

Apple's download servers change on a regular basis. They may recycle some host names, but the IP addresses are changing all the time, and many of them are load-balanced - you'll get the same DNS host name, but you'll connect to a new IP address.

Apple's recommendation for most firewall-related scenarios is to open up the entire 17.0.0.0/16 IP address space. Apple owns that entire range of IP addresses, and that's where all of their traffic will originate from.

Yep full 17.x.x.x
Throw in an inexpensive caching server or two ( we are just adding our second one ) and bob's your uncle.
