New sites for cvsup*.us.freebsd.org

[Ken Smith]

First, thanks to those of you who helped out with the TLD sites.  Most
of the entries I wanted to reassign have been taken care of, and in the
process we now have two sites not located in the USA which is good.  I
don't *need* to reassign the last one (I've at least gotten to the point
all the TLD sites are on unique machines) but if there are any other
established sites that aren't TLD sites that could handle some extra
traffic I do have one more that could be reassigned.  If possible I
wouldn't mind getting a well-connected site in either Europe or Russia.
And again I'd prefer a site that's been operational for a while so the
operators have had some experience.  It would be cvsup6.freebsd.org you
get.  Because that site had been down for quite a while at the moment
it's seeing virtually no traffic (I'm getting about 100 connects/day on
the machine that's temporarily stepped in to handle it) but given it's a
pretty low number through time it will likely increase as people notice
it's alive again.

And...  Now it's also time to do the same thing for the
cvsup*.us.freebsd.org sites.  A few too many of those names point at my
machines too.  For these sites they should be in the USA, and you don't
need to have been a public mirror before (though having run a cvsup
server for a while would help :-).  The us.freebsd.org sites *typically*
see less traffic than the TLD sites.  But as you can see from the above
paragraph it's sort of a "stepping stone" towards becoming a TLD site.
If you're interested in starting to provide a public cvsup mirror in the
USA let me know please.

Thanks!
