Sure there is: tiering. rsync access should be restricted to the official country mirrors like it's done with the syncproxies. It should be very easy to do because there is already a private module with authentication that mirrors [should] use. You could just disable the public one. It'd also be possible to send a page to http requesters telling them to go to a country mirror. However, since http is already redirected to the backends, it's probably not necessary. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
