When the former ftp.FreeBSD.org when down (and we setup the current one) - Peter Wemm talked about getting Akamai DNS for ftp.FreeBSD.org - I don't know if he got any resolution to that. If now we could try do work something out ourself - but if we can get the Akamai DNS sponsored, it would be ideal, as that works really good. /Jesper -- Jesper Skriver, jesper(at)skriver(dot)dk - CCIE #5456 Work: Network manager @ AS3292 (Tele Danmark DataNetworks) Private: FreeBSD committer @ AS2109 (A much smaller network ;-) One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
