Wouldn't it be better to test the ring for latency or TTL? Just measure a wget download of a specific file from varous sources and choose the one with the lowest latency. This can be done in 50 lines of scripting. The testing time is saved by the first download. -- Morten Bjørnsvik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
