Hi Hannes,

I'm in Greece and running the dig command returns nothing

root@newblood:~# dig +short @geo1.easydns.com www.php.net
root@newblood:~#

I remind you that there is no Greek mirror currently.
I used to run a mirror for many years and we had it running under a company of 
the group that was sold.
I asked to change the mirror provider name but the choice then was to shut down 
the mirror.
Our company (ACE-Hellas) is a software house. We mainly do software for 
Engineers but we also do for some B2B customers web sites and portals (we do 
use of course PHP but we also do ASP projects).
I don't know if that business falls under the list of acceptable candidates.
If it is I can set up the mirror again and apply officially so we have a mirror 
site in Greece.

Regards,
Spyros

Subject: GeoDNS for www.php.net live this week!

Hi all

This is a heads up that we are planning on rolling out GeoDNS for www.php.net 
this week!

For now only www.php.net will be in GeoDNS (not "php.net").

The new mirror-test script updates the geo records hourly which registers our 
known country mirrors for that particular geo zone.

We might later on improve this by registering mirrors also for certain 
continents - so lookups from countries where we don't have a mirror will at 
least be answered from that continent.


You are encouraged to verify you get accurate results already by executing the 
following:

    $ dig +short @geo1.easydns.com www.php.net

This should return a cname to a mirror in the country the server is located in.
Keep in mind, we usually have several mirrors per-country so you may need to 
run this a few times to get your own mirror.


When we go live, you can verify the same with just:

    $ dig +short www.php.net


I'll send a final note once we've made the final changes to trigger this 
process.
If you experience any issues with this, please let me know.


-Hannes
