As a consequence, for every geographic zone with different sponsors, the DNS TTL may expire between viewing a page and viewing the sponsor page http://www.debian.org/sponsor.html See: http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-geodomains.git;a=blob;f=zones/www.debian.org.zone;hb=HEAD dig +short www.debian.org 194.109.137.218 213.129.232.18 141.76.2.5 As we want to keep the TTL low (allows better reactivity in case of webmirror failure), the way to fix this behaviour may be : * put only one webmirror per country/zone, to avoid DNS round robin * change the sponsor link from http://www.debian.org/sponsor.html to the sponsor url directly, without any intermediate step -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
