The FreeBSD/sparc64 machine didn't quite work out. Its TCP output
seemed to hit a wall very fast. Maybe FreeBSD-5.2 will work out a
bit better on this platform.
So, I now have an i386 architecture machine in place. Like the
real ftp-master it has 2Gb of memory in it so it should be able
to handle a reasonable number of clients. I still haven't got
cvsupd working but rsyncd seems to be working just fine and I'm
cvsup-ing 4 times a day from ftp-master.freebsd.org. The current
ACL from ftp-master.freebsd.org is in place on this machine now
too.
If you use rsync and connect to ftp-master.freebsd.org please take
a little time to compare the ping times you get from it versus
ftp-master.us.freebsd.org. If you seem to get better response
from ftp-master.us please give rsync-ing from it a try and if
the performance seems reasonable please just sync from it.
If you do evaluate the performance of ftp-master.us please let me
know one way or another what you decide to do. I would like to
have a rough idea of who decides to stick with using this machine
instead of ftp-master.freebsd.org (don't worry, we won't be removing
access to ftp-master.freebsd.org if you say you switched). If you
evaluate it and find that its performance isn't good enough I'd like
to know so I can look into why - at least hardware-wise this machine
should be a match for ftp-master.freebsd.org. :-)
I'll keep working on getting cvsupd set up.
Thanks.
