Hi folks, Rafis ip4r extension for PostgreSQL works fine, I just tested the newly build mod_asn which requires it. This is a step towards reworking our mirror infrastructure to include real geo-based loadbalancing with 'mirrorbrain'. It works like this: - fetch routeviews data containing the AS (autonomous systems) numbers from BGP and prefixes - extract a mapping between ip network and AS number - import this into a postgres database with ip4r (ipv4 range) datatype - load module into apache which maps clients to AS number and adds that to the env and header This can then further be used to select the closest mirror, a step that is not done yet.
If anybody is interested, I have my install notes (very brief) at http://wiki.opencsw.org/mod-asn Unreleased packages are at http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#mirrorbrain It also requires a apr-util dbd module with postgres enabled which also has been rebuilt at http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#apr-1.5 Best regards -- Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896
