I'm not sure this is the case, but I do remember some mirror admins mentioning that they will only allow connections originating from their own country. An idea would be making an official list containing: a) hosts that should always be allowed to connect to the cvsup or ftp mirrors (this should include the host this test was run on, at least) b) hosts that should be allowed to make an AXFR or IXFR for .cc.freebsd.org domains (this should include people keeping official lists of hosts) On Thu, May 08, 2003 at 11:14:20AM +0400, Maxim Konovalov wrote: > On 19:29+0200, May 7, 2003, Nils Vogels wrote: > > > Hi there! > > > > I'm hoping I have the right list, if not, please drop me an icmp redirect :) > > > > Just ran the fastest_cvsup script, which comes with the portstree, and there > > seemed to be a few communications errors, which seemed interesting enough for > > the FreeBSD project people to know :) > > > > First of all, the fastest_cvsup script fetches the list of cvsup mirrors to > > prod from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html ..
