Hi,

I have been the za.freebsd.org and internat.freebsd.org dns guy and also maintaining an ftp= server under it for a long time.

Over the years, = newer services like pkg and freebsd-update were developed and they do not u= se it, but use a dns geolocation system. Even the main www.freebsd.org and f= tp.freebsd.org dns has been geolocated and here it is pointing to a ser= ver that seems to be hosted at one of the big peering points in South Afric= a (za). The connectivity looks good. It has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. F= ile transfers are at ~100MiB/s.

So I think the= question is, does it still make sense to host the country code mirrors and= dns?

Maybe there are other areas or countries tha= t are not so "lucky"?

Regards
