I have a server running here at my company which I hardly ever touch. It runs ftp/www and not much else. Sort of a testbed for plain vanilla static websites that get deployed into the real world sooner or later. It's a pretty low-spec P1/128MB/9GB freebsd box that I update regularly using cvsup, just like the other servers present here. I love the way FreeBSD handles updates, but have also seen quite a few occasions that my attempts failed because of saturated servers. My question is whether it is possible to set up this particular little server as a cvsup-server for my internal boxes. Ideally I'd update my ftp/www box, and recycle the sources present on it for the other boxes to upgrade from. This would save the public mirrors some load and would make my updates faster because it's all 100Mbps locally here. I've looked at instructions for becoming a public mirror, but that's pretty much beyond my abilities resource-wise. However if I were to bother a public mirror only once instead of 10 times for each update, it may still make a difference. Question is, how do I do this, if at all possible?
