Hi,

Sorry for the delay, still working out the details here.

It's a bit of a difficult case.

Your technical setup looks great.  However, we are not looking for a
global CDN, but rather for a way to efficiently distribute files to a
diverse network of tier-2 mirrors.  As such, we would like all tier-1
mirrors to behave the same as much as possible, and your rsync setup does
not seem to allow that.

In any case, I think your setup would work fine as a tier-2.  Where are
you mirroring from currently?

Thanks,
Baptiste
