That host has an IPv6 address in DNS, but does not answer to any requests.

The TCP timeout is longer than CAT is willing to wait, several minutes.

You may want to fix your webserver.

You should start your investigation with the NRO in Denmark. They can
see if roaming requests are actually coming for your realm, and whether
your server responds to such roaming requests.

From the above, a rather wild guess could be that the server has a
hostname with IPv4 and IPv6, DeIC is sending via IPv6, but your server
only actually listens on IPv4?

Greetings,
