I have been mirroring from ftp3 via rsync anononymously for a few weeks now.
I have received my boss's approval to go ahead and become an official
mirror. I haven't turned on anonymous ftp yet, but I'm going to be doing
that just after I send this mail. I am also up for running an rsync server
to allow downstream mirrors and anonymous rsync access.
I'm willing to dedicate the time and energy to making sure this system is
highly available. We use FreeBSD extensively in the networking group here,
and this is one of they ways we can give something back to the project.
Our connectivity is as follows:
OC12 to Abilene
OC12 to vBNS+
OC3 to the AADS (Chicago) NAP (peering with several providers there)
DS3 to Verio
Our connectivity is a bit skewed towards the research and education
community, but we have plenty of bandwidth to the commodity internet.
Could you add reflection.ncsa.uiuc.edu to the mirror access list?
How do I go about being listed as an official mirror? Do I just need to
send mail to hostmaster@FreeBSD.org and request the next available ftp DNS
record?
