Hello All,
I know that these are great conversations, heck, I want to toot my own company, and
get people involved with my ISP. Emile's suggestion about putting up a message board
for co-hosting sounds great!
I do think that there should be some basic requirements of co-hosting for Midgard
project sites, especially mirrors.
The nenetwork sounds good, but unfortunately they are sitting behind a single dsl
connection with ping times more than 100 ms. Even my buddy who runs on a single T1
line gets less than 20ms ping times! We need to put machines on multiple redundant
lines, with MX backups, DNS backups, DNS security, etc.
Anyway, I will anticipate the addition of such a board. I don't know what you all use
for mirroring an SQL site like Midgard, but we could use rsync or something like that.
see ya,
sean.
