It does sound like your solution is better in many ways than the cdn.debian.net approach. There's one thing that worries me, though: it requires there to be one central server that can be used to do a redirect. That's a single point of failure, which is risky in various ways. Would it be possible to take all the logic and data required to choose a mirror and put them into apt instead? Possibly as a second phase of development? -- Blog/wiki/website hosting with ikiwiki (free for free software): http://www.branchable.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
