Hi dear Debian Mirrors Team,

I would like you to consider including http.debian.net as "GeoDNS"
mirror in Mirrors.masterlist. This would allow getting http.debian.net
selected as default mirror in debian-installer (choose-mirror).

The entry would probably be:

  Site: http.debian.net
  Type: GeoDNS
  Archive-architecture: amd64 armel armhf hurd-i386 i386 ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 
kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 s390x sparc
  Airchive-http: /debian/
  Backports-http: /debian-backports/
  Old-http: /debian-archive/
  Archive-upstream: ftp-master.debian.org
  IPv6: yes
  Maintainer: Raphael Geissert <rgeiss...@debian.org>
  Comment: HTTP redirector that uses the geo and network location of the
   user and the mirrors, the architecture of the requested files, IP
   address family, the availability and freshness of the mirrors, and a
   few other things. Details: http://http.debian.net

The list of open questions is at least:

a) Type: GeoDNS - Does it really make sense ?
b) Impact of this change on choose-mirror ? Does it really make
   http.debian.net appear first ?
c) Impact of this change on http.debian.net ? (risk of creating HTTP
   redirection loops ?)
d) Consensus (within the mirrors team, within -boot) that http.d.n is
   superior to cdn.d.n ?
e) status of the integration of http.d.n to http.d.o ?

Thanks for considering, cheers,

OdyX
