Well, that machine is the only msync node we have for Oceania (and is
located in Australia), so that's normal that you're redirected to that
node.
But as it's currently the only node we have there, some other nodes
from other countries were also put in the same list.
I can investigate, and directly just point all .au (or nodes Oceania)
to just a single node, and see how it goes, and if the available
bandwidth on that single node is enough or not.

Cheers,
