I accidentally started conversation about something I didn't think would generate conversation once already today (I should have waited for the dust to settle on DNS before posting the letter thing...) so I don't want to add even more. :-] I started a private conversation with one of you so I could learn more about the current structure of things and learned quite a bit that way. For those of you who are running delegated zones: - Do you provide www, cvsup, and ftp servers that all of the folks down inside of your zone use? For example if your zone was foo.freebsd.org does any system inside of your zone connect to a ftp-master* site that is outside of your zone? - If you are providing these Tier-1 servers which then feed Tier-2 servers, do the Tier-2 servers wind up having the releases in the "staged" form (permissions set properly so it's not available to anonymous FTP users) before Release Day?
