Thanks for the info. I have put your server into our monitoring system so we
can check it for the next 2 weeks.  If everything looks okay, you will be put
into the official rotation.

Please make sure you have read the appropriate policy documentation:

Our monitoring tool reported the following:
"Distfiles at http://mirror.its.dal.ca/gentoo is lagging (delta is 00d 06h 08m 57s)"
Please make sure you are syncing from ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles every 4 hours, according to the doc. Thanks

Hmm.. I'm confused. What documentation states that we should be syncing from Indiana? I didn't even see it on the mirror list. We are currently syncing from rsync://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo every four hours. We are also syncing everything not just distfiles. 

What mirror should we be syncing from for a full set? With the understanding we are located in Canada.

This is mentioned in the doc I posted in comment 2. It is a mirror we use for candidate mirrors in order to ensure they are syncing from an up-to-date destination. By distfiles mirror I don't mean only the distfiles/ subdir, we use this term to separate it from rsync (gentoo-portage) mirrors.
Anyway, your mirror seems to be fine today, I will continue to keep track on it and notify you if any other problem arises.

It is lagging again. Please fix that and I'll put you in our monitoring tool again for two weeks. Thanks
