Please give it a try! Maybe you should make cvsup.freebsd.org as a rotary (of sorts), which returns a different IP address based on the callers IP address. (or is that even possible?) That way, any given host will always try the same cvsup server, but you'll be spreading the load out among the servers. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
