Hi Fabian,

I've changed rsync to mirror.symnds.com::CentOS-vault-full; centos-vault
on bay.uchicago.edu is now in sync (the sync is performed once a day,
which for vault is sufficient IMHO, let me know if you want be do it more
often), and it is accessible as:

http://bay.uchicago.edu/centos-vault
rsync://bay.uchicago.edu/centos-vault
ftp://bay.uchicago.edu/centos-vault

I don't mind if you add pointers to the above for public use (the machine
has 3 Gbps uplink speed currently, will probably be upgraded to 10 Gbps
within a year or so, no traffic shaping was necessary so far). This same
machine serves CentOS public mirror (and a few more public mirrors as
well).

Thanks a lot for you help and for the great job you guys are doing!

Valeri
