Hi Evgeniy!

I am looking over the Debian mirror universe, and noticed we have your
mirror listed as "ftp.by.debian.org" -- we are trying to make the
"ftp.*.debian.org" names be service aliases and refer to sites using
their "proper" (local) name.

o What's your mirror's more proper name?  ftp.mgts.by or ftp.byfly.by or
  something else entirely?

  - Please let us know, and also,
  - Modify your ftpsync configuration to use that as MIRRORNAME, so the
    tracefile in
    http://ftp.by.debian.org/debian/project/trace/
    has a file by that name.

o Also, what's the best maintainer address to use?


(The DNS entries for your mirror are somewhat broken.  The reverse
 points to ftp.byfly.by, but that is a CNAME record (to
 ftpbyflyby.belpak.by), which is not OK in DNS terms :)

More minor notes:
o your ftpsync version is a bit old.  Maybe update?
o we recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as
  ftp.<CC>.debian.org (only http is guaranteed to be available at
  ftp.<CC>.d.o sites).  Maybe change your config to sync from
  the site currently backing ftp.nl.debian.org, ftp.snt.utwente.nl?

Cheers,
