Sorry about not responding. Mitch clarifies the idea a little bit in another post. Basically, the DNS records would be changed so that second-tier mirrors get a smaller percentage of hits than first-tier mirrors. Maybe you even have a "master" second-tier mirror that is the only one which actually receives pushes from the ClamAV team; as soon as it receives an update it begins the process of pushing it out to the rest of the second tier mirrors. It would also be responsible for keeping track of whether or not the second-tier mirrors are functioning, and any other housekeeping that could be off-loaded from the main ClamAV servers to prevent too many mirrors becoming a hassle for the ClamAV team. I would love to setup a mirror, but 10Mbps and 100GB/month is more than I've got available. --TWH --MIS Supervisor, FEFC Fullerton (http://www.evfreefullerton.com) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
