Two replies: 1/ With the current webmirrors' config: NO 2/ With the collaboration of webmirror's admin: YES See the redirection at the bottom of http://www.debian.org/mirror/webmirror#ref The problem is that this list of redirection is implemented by hand by admins of web mirror, so we cannot update it easily. To solve such a problem, we could make admins configure rewrite map and point this directive to a file synchronized by rsync : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
