Hi Jason,
> Here are some answers. I didn't quote your original message since there
is a Copyright notice and I'm not a lawyer =)
That would be fair use, I did a poor job quoting (Ug. HTML...)
> I guess when the bandwidth you spend in updates is greater than the
bandwidth used to mirror what you need. I don't know if there is a magic
number; perhaps other internal mirror admins can chime in.
This part we have figured out, it was your side of the coin I was trying to
understand.
> At Eclipse, the concept of an Internal mirror is first class. Our
download pages, and the list of mirrors we send to our users performing updates,
will not show your internal mirror, so you won't be using your precious
bandwidth to serve files to the general public.
Understood ( and assumed).
> Actually, you just tell us what to use as the internal host mask (for
instance, *.pdinc.us) and your internal mirror will be shown at the top of the
list on our download pages and in the Update manager.
Here is where I would have a few questions/statements.
1: Our primary "browsing" internet connection is neither static or reverse dns
friendly.
2: Our dedicated internet infrastructure is a T1 (1.554Mb)
3: Did you say that the (your) mirror list provider will do a reverse dns or ip
lookup and provide an automagical mirror list back?
4: We have machines without internet access.
5: Will we have to do some dns voodo here to prevent pinging the (your) mirror
list server?
6: can we runa mirror list server here?
> I hope this helps,

It does.
