Would it even help? Talking of FreeBSD.ORG nameservers - all three of them lie on the wrong side of MAE-east as seen from me :-( This will e.g. sometimes block me from reaching cvsup.no.freebsd.org , even though I get to the actual IP address in approx 20ms. Is there any particular reason to not run a secondary in some other location(s), more netwise dispersed? I can run a secondary here if it is of interest - it take me about 3 minutes to set one up. (About 100 to 150 ms from the major parts of the US and Europe. Approx 3 hours line downtime during the last year). Eivind.
