Why does SA even use a mirrors file instead of direct TXT records?  Here's a
live example with a dozen round-robin TXT entries, including the longest
real-life mirror I could find plus a ridiculously long example URL.  Am I
missing some piece of the RFC that prohibits this?  We're already delayed by
the propagation time of the versions, so that doesn't affect anything...

$ host -t txt mirrors.testtxt.khopesh.com. |sort |perl -pne
's/^.*"([^"]+)"$/$1/'

$ 

Every time there is an update, the mirrors should probably be re-cached. 
sa-update should probably also spit out a warning when there is only one
mirror.
