Hi
I want to announce the availability of the
following dedicated mirror server:
location: Nuremberg, Germany
bandwith: 100 Mbit FE up to 2000 GByte/month, 10
Mbit cap over quota
synch frequency: 30 */6 * * * from
eu-msync.centos.org
sponsor: SILYUS
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.
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:
what is the logic the centos project resolves
mirrors to requesting clients? by shortest AS path or what appears to be the
closest geolocation?
what is the logic yum fails over to the next
mirror? (does it also fail over upon receiving HTTP status code
403?)
is there any advantage for yum to have ftp
access or is http access enough?
to join in on the distribution of the DVD iso
files, which masterserver or community on the eu-msync should be
used
regards, Florian
