At this rate, we are going to nail the magic number of 8 primary first-tier mirrors for the ftp.freebsd.org round-robin. After that the load gets weird with some machines getting more load than others. It would probably be beneficial to use ultra-dns or some other closest hop first technology. Has anyone taken a look at it? or did I just volunteer myself? =) -gordon On Thu, 3 May 2001, Jon Dugan wrote: > Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 11:14:18 -0500 > From: Jon Dugan <jdugan@ncsa.uiuc.edu> > To: Peter Wemm <peter@wemm.org> > Cc: hubs@FreeBSD.ORG, Tony Rimovsky <tony@ncsa.uiuc.edu> > Subject: Re: ftp-master method > > 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.
