rsync.gentoo.org and cvs.gentoo.org won't need mirrors... maybe you would like to use ftp[.CC[X]].gentoo.org instead of get.gentoo.org, it better fits current Gentoo habits right now, our load balancing relies on round robin dns, which in turn relies on the 'www.gentoo.org' domain name. This schema would not lend itself easily to www.ccx.gentoo.org naming, though we could possibly make it work with redirects. I don't really see the necessity in making this change, however. What are the benefits to be gained in doing this? Why is a change necessary? As it stands, I'm inclined to go with the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" approach. any comments? otherwise, I will close this bug. okay... i didnt know about the DNS rotation, but i discovered it now. it's right... it works. the only disadvantage is this: if for example i live in hungary, and there is a fast mirror next street, the DNS rotation may give me a mirror on an other continent (which is way slower). but the internet is usually fast enough... and it will just improve with ipv6. |
