AFAICS: None out of the ordinary background hum of the intarwebz.

Anything from us comes from 72.232.223.58 (or .59, .62). We actually
connect to the mirrors to collect the timestamp files, for our
mirrorlist we also do a few more extensive checks. This means actually
connecting per FTP.
This can change, might we need to move this to another machine.
Cheers,
Ralph
