In preparation for the public release of CentOS 5 beta, we would like to <br />
expand the number of mirror servers that have the beta as we expect it to <br />
be a popular download.<br />
<br />
So if any mirrors - especially ones with large bandwidth - can agree to <br />
the following please let us know :-<br />
<br />
1. set up an apache virtual host as beta.centos.or<br />
<br />
2. set up rsync for beta.cenros.org with targets we specify<br />
<br />
This will make it easy for us to use GeoIP based dns system to give out <br />
mirrors.<br />
<br />
3. agree to sync regularily and only carry the latest beta download tree<br />
<br />
Because we dont want broken stuff too widely distributed<br />
<br />
4. agree to remove the beta stuff when the beta test is over<br />

I'd be willing to do that just let me know when. <br />
