How is a cvsup master to know anything about the path from me to any
given cvsup mirror?  Knowing something about the path from me to the
master and the path from the master to the mirror tells zero about the
path from me to the mirror.

Being on an .EDU network, I have a *very* different path to other .EDU
machine participating in Inetnet2.  My path to cvsup3 is a prime example.
This "cvsup master" will have no idea about this.
