There seems to be another outage of the Vienna CRAN server [1] though from
what I can from afar not related to DNS outage [2].

Could anyone confirm and possibly alert the local team in Vienna?

[2] The DNS resolves on a few sites but eg simple pings stall

Seems to work fine for me, both http and ping from non-WU machines
(but of course from Vienna):

leisch at nona01:~$ ping cran.r-project.org

Hum, I could reach the machine once:

$ ssh cran.r-project.org

The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
....

but now it hangs on connecting. So either it is being DOS'ed or someone saw the problem and restarted it.
