We don't currently have a mechanism to do that in the depot itself. I suppose you could simply re-route all the requests using proxy as appropriate though.

If all these other servers were simply going to be mirror servers, the point is moot. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list pkg-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
