If the local references in all the documents are relative to the place where you are it would be possible to stay with your old solution of just having apache.planetmirror.com and it would be up to the individual maintainer to place them where he wants them. It also makes it easier for educational institutions that only have (or had) one single hostname for all their mirrors. -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer>
