Thanks for signing that message, I wasn't sure it was from you. The problem here is we haven't had anyone step up and *finish* a two tier mirror system. The situation has improved a bit, but without a developer actively working on it we aren't going to have it fully implemented. As far as pushing goes, that is a bad idea for a number of reasons, the primary being one compromised root server gains you ssh access to X more servers. -Dan
