I realize you are extremely busy so simple "Yes/No" would be OK but more info is always better. If you can spare the time to provide that I think the rest of us could become more focused. 1)The current country-code based delegation for all zones will stay in place, being able to handle DNS locally is required for any region's country code to exist in the FreeBSD namespace. 2)It will be the responsibility of that country code's DNS admins (or local people they decide on) to handle all DNS requests for that region on their own. 3)The US sites will be moved to us.freebsd.org and someone will be set up in a role to handle (2) for that zone. 4)The TLD sites "www.freebsd.org", "ftp*.freebsd.org", etc. will, as someone else suggested, become the best of the currently available mirror sites regardless of country they're in. If you can either say that's correct or let us know what needs to be researched/discussed more I think that would help. If the above is correct I could take this and work out the next step towards what you asked for. I think you are the only one at this point who could say one way or another whether (2) is correct or if the people who make up dnsadm@ would be willing to take on administering a country code's zone if the people in that country code could not for some reason. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
