Hello!

We use ghost with gatsby through the `gatsby-source-ghost` plugin. Our builds work fine locally, however, on Netlify we have been seeing the following error:

11:09:32 AM: error “gatsby-node.js” threw an error while running the onCreateNode lifecycle:  
11:09:32 AM: failed to process [https://casper.ghost.org/v2.0.0/images/ghost.png](https://casper.ghost.org/v2.0.0/images/ghost.png)  
11:09:32 AM: HTTPError: Response code 403 (Forbidden)

The Netlify support staff confirmed for me that others have been seeing this error in the last 2 weeks as well. They suggested we reach out to Ghost. It looks like there are some default URLs in the [ghost-schema.js](https://github.com/TryGhost/gatsby-source-ghost/blob/master/ghost-schema.js) file. We were able to get around this issue by forking the `gatsby-source-ghost` plugin and changing the URLs to be self-hosted ones.

I wanted to start a thread to see what we can do to resolve this long term:

1. Are Netlify build machine IPs blocked from requesting [ghost.org](http://ghost.org) urls? If so, are there plans to lift those blocks?
2. Could those default URLs be configured when we setup the plugin in gatsby? We wouldn’t mind configuring the URLs to ones that we host oursleves.

When was the last time you saw this error? It should have been fixed yesterday.
