Jerks that target you are trivial to filter (or serve old DBs to, if you're feeling cruel). It's the jerks that follow the round-robin that are hard to track. This idea of splitting a "first-tier" cname among 10+ "second-tier" mirrors sounds like a really good idea, and one that would allow me to offer a mirror. My biggest concern is that we need to ensure the second-tier mirrors are just as stable (uptime requirements) as the primary mirrors, to avoid freshclam errors. Does anyone have stats on how much the DNS-trick will save on overall mirror bandwidth?
