CVSUP updates configuration files as well. So why not have it update a generalized map of some sort. Then cvsup will determine based on the hostname/traceroute from the particular host to a known server (say www.freebsd.org) where the host lies. Then determine if it's part of a huge ISP such as UUNET and have one server designated for a group of large ISPs based on number of hops to a certain cvsup server. This should hopefully scale without much attendence since it will be unlikely that suddenly everyone on UUNet (or other large ISP) decides to use FreeBSD. I'm sure I'm overlooking something major, but this sounds like a possible solution. -- scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
