That may not be "easy" for several reasons (i.e. determining the nearest server to you, etc..". Another possible alternative. How about allowing the client to get two or more servers. If the first one is busy try the next in the list. This would allow people to select the nearest servers and if one is busy go to the next. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
