That's means that - mirrorlist need to know which IP range is owned by which local mirror -> like Fedora MirrorManager. - how should the centos.org know that your requested block range it legit for each local mirror? - more burden on the centos.org "logic" - no load spreading over multiples mirrors Cheers, Tru -- Tru Huynh (mirrors, CentOS-3 i386/x86_64 Package Maintenance) http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xBEFA581B -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
