Hi, I have found this solution for mirrors redirecting, SUSE way. I'm sending it for the record, might be useful. http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Redirector David
how does this compare with what we have in place at the moment ?
Two differences: Mirrors are sticky (so I get redirected to the same mirror when I request another file within 30 minutes) and the redirector checks if files are on a mirror *before* it redirects to the mirror (does it really do that or do I have some conceptual misunderstanding there?)
a) can be resolved by using the fastestmirror plugin. b) seems to result in some more load on the mirrors.
