Hi everyone
At http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2217&forum=6
I expressed some dismay at the fact that several of the update
mirrors are broken or outdated. I also proposed some remedies
for the problem.
Since nobody has replied there, I thought I'd better bring the
issue here.
I wrote a script which checks header.info on all parts of both
distributions on all update mirrors using http headers only,
thus a totally negligible amount of bandwidth, and then modifies
sdb_ldap DNS zone records for mirror.centos.org to only reflect
good mirrors. Of course it could run against a plain vanilla
BIND too, but sdb_ldap has the great advantage that it eliminates
the need to reload after every zone change, so that removing bad
mirrors from and re-inserting repaired ones into the round-robin
can be done really often.
To go along with the script, I also wrote an sdb_ldap .ldif for
mirror.centos.org.
Is there any interest to implement any of this?

Greetings,
We have updated our sync server, increased the sync'ing interval.
HTTP Address: http://centos.simlink.com.hk
FTP Address: ftp://mirror.simlink.com.hk/centos
Initial Sync: Completed.
Sync'ing Interval: EACH HOUR (Server will check if there is existing
rsync transfer. No worries even one of the update need more than 1 hour =) )
Upstream Server (RSync From): RIKEN Research Institute
Country: Hong Kong (China, Asia)
Bandwidth: Ethernet 100M Port
Sponsoring Origanization: SimLink Connection (http://www.simlink.com.hk)
Contact Person: Jeffery Wong (jeffery(a)simlink.com.hk)
The mirror server has been put in production, that means it's now REALLY
functional.
Thank you very much!
Jeffery

Daily Sync: 6 times per day

Our server is currently rsyncing against
us-msync.centos.org at 0300/1500 CST6CDT. Please let me know if
we need to change that. The only valid access method is
currently via http. We might consider rsync in the future, but
I'll let you know if that changes.
The server is located in College Station, Texas, USA. We
are connected with the Internet via an OC-12 and Internet2 via an
OC-3. The server itself is only on 100Mbit ethernet though, so
that will be the bottleneck.
And finally, the sponsoring organization should probably
be "Texas A&M University" with a URL of http://www.tamu.edu/.
Thanks.

Hey, noticed a few problems with the mirror. The sponsor name is Neoservers LLC, forgot the LLC.
Also, you got the mirror url wrong. The mirror is http://centos.neoservers.com/ You linked directly to our website.
Thanks much.

Thanks - I have added your mirror to the database - it should show up in a
short while.
Please let us know if you decide to stop maintaining it so we can remove
it from the database.

I shall. I just realized that this makes a local up2date mirror as well. I have 10 CentOS servers, so that will cut down on our bandwidth as well. Big plus there.
Later!

Hey all.
I just finished the initial sync to a mirror I've setup. After awhile, I will
decide whether or not to keep the mirror running. I want to see how much
bandwidth it will use first.
Server details:
Intel P4 2.8 Ghz (800 Mhz FSB / HT)
1GB DDR-400 RAM
250GB SATA
Connection and Location Details:
San Jose, California - AboveNet SJC2 - Tier 1
Connected via a single Gig-E on a 100 Mbps port (took two hours to complete the
initial sync at 80 Mbps)
Currently, I'm only offering HTTP access to the mirror. If I permanently
maintain it, I'll offer FTP and possible RSYNC access.
Mirror: http://centos.neoservers.com
Sponsor: Neoservers LLC
Sponsor URL: http://www.neoservers.com
Syncing twice daily at 8AM and 8PM
Anything I miss? Let me know!
