The trouble with a "working example file" is that too many people will
simply copy it. The likely result would be to overload every server
named in the example file. Also, the server in New York City is not
going to be a great server for a client in Los Angeles.
It's safer to provide the format using "fictional" servers. This will
require a little thought on the part of the user. If said user is not
capable of thought it's better not to have him using any servers!
Using three or four pool servers would be fine, that's what some other
installers do.
Cheers,

Are you talking about *thinking human* installers or installation scripts?
A script that could ask the user "What country are you in?" and then for
state or province could make a better than random selection of servers.
A "thinking human" could probably do a LOT better.
