One more thing to consider in restructuring the mirrors is the research networks (e.g. Internet2, National Lambda Rail, Geant). A lot of the mirrors are universities, with access to these research nets. I know my organization doesn't care about bandwidth usage on the research nets, just on the commodity internet links. Perhaps have a few I2-connected mirrors sync from the centos.org masters, and then other I2-mirrors sync from them (instead of the masters)? The Fedora Project has already run into many of these issues. Something kinda like their tiering structure might make sense. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring/Tiering DR -- David Richardson <david.richardson at utah.edu> "I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner.
