I think so. Example: It's suboptimal to access ftp.debian.org from www.de.debian.org, being ftp.de.debian.org a well-behaved mirror. > Just thought I'd mention that cgi.debian.org = master.debian.org.

That will help with the bandwith also. (Just a wild thought). -- Enrique Zanardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
