There may be a valid point here. I don't help manage the centosX servers, so I am unaware if they frequently change locations, etc. If they are relatively static, then perhaps a naming scheme that indicates country or continent of origin would be useful. But again - I don't think most people care. If a server half a world away is faster, I'm going to use that one.
The point is that those CentOS servers are not meant to be used - they are only there as a fallback , so given them descriptive locational names would not be helpful.
We try to make sure that enough external mirrors have the centos payload before we announce release, but to prevent yum hanging during release we populate the mirrorlist with centosx servers if there arent enough local mirrors.
That is a policy which we will now review. Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
