Only one mirror does not want to but would - not bad, that was what I
wanted to hear ...

Those weren't that many either.

In your opinion, would you rather go with password based acls or with
ip based acls?

If there's not that many mirrors which don't pull from the IP they are
serving from, the ip based acls can be calculated "on the fly" with
one more field in the database for machines which have a different
puller.

Password based ACLs on the other hand could break older,
non-maintained, but working setups - but they are easier to implement
and less error prone.

Opinions?
