Actually, all mirrors are dist mirrors at the moment, so that suggested configuration is certainly applicable. It does things like ensure that the HEADER.html and README.html are displayed in the relevant directories, and ensure that if we need to make any mime-type adjustments, we can do that via .htaccess. We would certainly appreciate it if you could include that configuration (although it isn't a 100% requirement). If you scope it in an appropriate <directory> section, it will have no effect on the rest of your site. Joshua.
