I've been taking my ideas on what people would be willing to tolerate from a variety of different sources. It spans quite a range. :-) Some people think it would be awkward to even ask the mirror sites to enforce permission separation by doing their pulls as a different user than the ftp user. So, I've not been sure what is reasonable to set as requirements of the mirror sites. The key to trying anything of this sort would be finding enough sites with operators willing to handle the responsibilities of being what you described as Tier-1 I think. If there are enough people willing to act in that role then it's just a matter of doing the implementation. Are there enough people out there interested in chipping in? Most of this seemed like an initial setup "cost" (making sure you're in sync with current disk space requirements, adding in the snmp hooks, etc), and then a committment to keep up with future expansion. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
