Have you guys thought of using round-robin DNS? sare.org is taken, but maybe sarules.org? We could have www.sarules.org be a web page that links to all the rules at update.sarules.org/sarules/download/. This would be the only server that needs VirutalHost support. update.sarules.org would be round-robin DNS that rotates between 5-10 mirror servers. The requirements for a mirror would be pretty low: T1 line or greater, reliable, the ability to create a /sarules/download directory, wget, and the ability to add a cron job. The ability to create a VirtualHost isn't required, since only the /sarules/download directory would be accessed (and never the web root /). Automatic-update-script writers could just hardcode the update.sarules.org/sarules/update URL into their scripts, and we can add/remove mirrors simply by updating the DNS. - Jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrator, tgpsolutions http://www.tgpsolutions.com
