--000000000000e75bab06196a465a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi, I have been the za.freebsd.org and internat.freebsd.org dns guy and also maintaining an ftp server under it for a long time. Over the years, newer services like pkg and freebsd-update were developed and they do not use it, but use a dns geolocation system. Even the main www.freebsd.org and ftp.freebsd.org dns has been geolocated and here it is pointing to a server that seems to be hosted at one of the big peering points in South Africa (za). The connectivity looks good. It has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. File transfers are at ~100MiB/s. So I think the question is, does it still make sense to host the country code mirrors and dns? Maybe there are other areas or countries that are not so "lucky"?
