1) If the legacy implementations do not support redirects, that does cause
a problem.  A potential solution in that case is to have the web server
actually proxy the download, but that is not ideal and I would like to
avoid it if possible.  Thanks for bringing that up Chiradeep.

2) I think we need to have a single URL which people can target.  Once they
make the switch to the new URL, we want the implementation to be able to
handle mirror failures without affecting the end client.  We want to avoid
the situation where an ACS user will ever have to change this URL more than
once.  Mirror failures SHOULD NOT affect the ACS users assuming there is
still at least one mirror who can serve the requested resource.

These are obviously my personal opinions and others will probably have
differing opinions.
