  Thanks for the link.  Using GeoIP or one of the other IP-to-region
  systems is a possibility--this is an example of a spatial metric.  I
  was hoping to avoid a centralized record of mirror characteristics,
  and moving that responsibility (and making it an ongoing measurement)
  to the client.

  If you have access to the paper, see 3.1 Choice of Metrics for a
  discussion.  I believe we can sensibly use a combination of spatial,
  temporal, and consistency metrics--at least for an initial improvement
  over a round robin approach.
