<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to announce the availability of the
following dedicated mirror server:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>http mirror URL: <A
href="http://mirror.silyus.net/centos/">http://mirror.silyus.net/centos/</A> (<A
href="http://78.47.29.210/centos/">http://78.47.29.210/centos/</A>)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>location: Nuremberg, Germany</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>bandwith: 100 Mbit FE up to 2000 GByte/month, 10
Mbit cap over quota</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>synch frequency: 30 */6 * * * from
eu-msync.centos.org</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sponsor: SILYUS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>info URL: <A
href="http://mirror.silyus.net">http://mirror.silyus.net</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this mirror is mainly intended to facilitate and
promote the use of CentOS in AS29940 and associated datacenters, however
the files are available on all peering and commercial routes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After this "testdrive" I consider providing a
second mirror in Switzerland, which is not currently covered on the mirror map,
but I have some questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what is the logic the centos project resolves
mirrors to requesting clients? by shortest AS path or what appears to be the
closest geolocation?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what is the logic yum fails over to the next
mirror? (does it also fail over upon receiving HTTP status code
403?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is there any advantage for yum to have ftp
access or is http access enough?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to join in on the distribution of the DVD iso
files, which masterserver or community on the eu-msync should be
used</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards, Florian</FONT></DIV>
