From https://bugs.gentoo.org/889664#c1 """ So that's 3 out of 11 mirrors that actually work. Also, there's no IPv6 addresses in here. Oddly enough, rsync.europe doesn't include for instance the address used in rsync.nl, rsync.de or rsync.uk. """
Fixing this properly in the DNS records requires refactoring. Instead of repeating the A/AAAA records each time, and having to update multiple places, we should move each *mirror* into a include file, and then just repeat as needed. That covers the A/AAAA as well, and keeping TXT records so users can transparently map.
