Hash MM's "primary" IP address to select one of the various available
mirrors, assuming they're returned in a consistent order?
If you are going to return a list of N mirrors, make N copies of that
list, rotating one position for each. Knock the last octet off the
source IP and hash the remaining part with some consistent algorithm
that will give you N values and use that to choose the copy of the list
you send. Everything is as distributed and robust as before, but you
don't defeat attempts to save your bandwidth with caching proxies.
