I'll add it to my CVSup to-do list. // // In the past, we've considered renaming cvsup.freebsd.org to // cvsup1.freebsd.org. Then we would give cvsup.freebsd.org 3 DNS // entries, one for each of the three US mirrors. This would have more // or less the same effect. However, for various reasons, I've shied // away from this approach. For one thing, we would have to make sure // that all 3 mirrors carried exactly the same collections, or it would // cause problems. Currently it's optional to carry some of the larger // collections such as the mailing list archives. Those who need that could get directly from cvsup1.freebsd.org. I think you just have to define what's the minimum to be carried by a server in the main ring. The same could be applied to ftp, of course. Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
