We haven't opened a ticket yet because we don't have a strategy yet. What do you guys think of this: - We setup a new github repo in the 'apache' org which consists of a single file with a list of active/supported mirrors. - I write a small web server, distributed as a binary, which can be hosted by ASF Infra. This web server will query the current list of mirrors and will select one and then do a 302 redirect to that mirror.
The act of 'choosing' a mirror could be done in a number of ways. - If we want to define an order, then it could just try from the top of the list and work its way down. It would curl the target to make sure it gets a 200 and if it does, it would do a 302 redirect. - Or, if we want to distribute the load across the mirrors, we could pick from the list randomly. Again, doing a curl to verify the mirror is up and then doing a redirect. - If we want to get fancy, we could do a reverse IP lookup and try to match the requester with their closest geographical mirror.
