A better and cleaner strategy is to put the static PyPI information up on Amazon Cloudscape and have DNS take care of providing local mirrors (edge servers) to setuptools et al. Such a setup won't require any complicated mirror logic in any of the existing client tools. By moving the PyPI installation to Amazon AWS, we could also get the RPC access distributed to more than just one server. As I said before, the PSF infrastructure committee needs to get on of the job of getting this implemented (including funding this development). If someone wants to volunteer helping with the setup, please contact the PSF at p...@python.org.
