For ftp.perl.org (and ftp-dist.apache.org, but that's not announced yet or well populated with mirrors) I've made a name server that sends you to one of the mirrors in your country[1], or failing that on the same continent as you. If I in some automated way can get a list of mirrors with their country and (optionally) a weighting it's very easy to add support for ftp.freebsd.org. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dinamed/ - ask [1] or well, obviously it only knows about the ip address of your nameserver, but chances are good that they are in the same country. -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do(); more than 100M impressions per day, http://valueclick.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
