I don't know if apt will respect it, but the correct way of doing what you want would be for your cgi program to return a HTTP 302 code, telling the agent/client (apt in this case) to use a different IP/location/URI. If you use 302 as oppsed to 301, then the client (apt) will still go to the cgi program each time it is run, and not cache the new location/URI. The HTTP header should contain something similar to: HTTP/1.0 302 Found Location: http://a.b.c.d/~path/to/files If you post your code, I'm sure someone will help you modify it.
