yep. and i should go back and put some more work into this.  perhaps i am
just lazy :-)

rsync is no longer usable on ftp-master.  with a limit of 8 connections
and the memory usage problems peter pointed out i can rarely if ever
get a connection anymore.  i was contemplating asking if we could get
multiple shares so there was a limit of say "5" rsyncs available for
the entire site but a larger number available for say

releases/i386
releases/alpha
ports/i386

and so on. as separate shares.


that is the other reason we don't try and do a full site rsync with excludes
(apart from it not getting a connect) because even though we won't be fetching
stuff it appears to still be a large memory hog on the server side.

time to explore the cvsup site mirroring a bit more i guess (instead of
just for cvsup source mirroring)
