For a while I have been using approx very successfully to save on precious bandwidth to my ISP using the following line in approx.conf: ubuntu http://ubuntu.apt-get.eu/ubuntu ...which would correctly redirect for both Fiesty and Gutsy clients that were configured to ping my approx cache for updates. This week, my ISP has launched a local mirror for Gutsy and Hardy, however, they do not include the multiverse repository. This is good, because the mirror does not count towards my bandwidth usage, however, it is bad because I can't seem to configure approx to use the ISP mirror by default, but fail over to my official Ubuntu mirror when a respository is not available. Therefore, I think perhaps being able to have an approx.conf file as follows: ubuntu http://mirror.pacific.net.au/ubuntu/ ubuntu http://ubuntu.apt-get.eu/ubuntu ...where approx will fail over to each one, would be a perfect solution for getting around the fact that my ISP mirror does not include multiverse or any of the pre-gutsy repositories. What are your thoughts? Regards, David ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
