I'm sorry my example of a Mexican IP address was not good enough for <br>
you. That was not a mirror's IP address, but that is probably not <br>
relevant. Softlayer does peer with some Mexican providers, but <br>
apparently not with the ones you are using. Which Mexican ISPs are you <br>
peering with?<br>
<br>
But the thing is, I can find tons of examples where traceroute to your <br>
server goes through U.S., but none that would show that it would go <br>
directly from a host in Mexico to your mirror. In this situation, I <br>
believe the burden of proof is on you. Extraordinary claims require <br>
extraordinary evidence, as the saying goes.<br>
<br>
Please find me an example traceroute which shows true Mexico <-> Mexico <br>
connectivity and then I can have a closer look. This would also need to <br>
be something that I can verify myself -- examples of such verifiable <br>
claims include ISPs' looking glass websites, where I can give an IP <br>
address and the website will run a traceroute to the specified address.<br>
<br>
I would also like to reiterate that I don't particularly care where the <br>
servers itself are located, but where they are exposed to the rest of <br>
the Internet. If you route all the mirror's traffic through some VPN to <br>
a U.S. IP address, it is a U.S. mirror from our point of view and not a <br>
Mexican mirror.<br>
