I have an rsyncd on an additional interface, which can be
configured to allow access only for registered users. So at
least priority in terms of connections is no problem.
Further I will try to implement Littleboy's collection-files
to offer the FreeBSD archive via CVSup as well.
For the collections, it would be important to get them updated
if something on the ftp-master changes, just like the "self-supfile"
for the CVS repository, but nobody came up with something, yet.

Yes, this is also currently the case, and not just by a new FreeBSD
release. Our box is also heavily loaded during Mandrake and RedHat
releases. Other archive parts do not seem to attract that many
users. This may be a problem.

Bandwith is no issue, our main uplink to the G-Win
(german academic network) has been upgraded to 2GB/s, and we
have a Gigabit connections straight through.
CPU/Ram seems to be bottleneck, although our box is a
Dual 2.4GHz Xeon with 2GB RAM.
Hmm, maybe I could get another box, but not enough additional
diskspace, I could use NFS, though, but I'm not sure, if
thats a good idea?

Ok, I suggest, we wait a few days for addtional comments and
opinions, and then decide and possibly implement it.
Best regards,
Daniel
