It probably is. Perhaps a push-primary solution (much simpler..) combined with a default twice a day sync (just to make sure?) for tier-1 mirrors might work.. the I believe point here is to get ideas out there. I'd go for arch master -> mirror with more bandwidth -> rest and all run the script I already posted (no pushing) like every 1-5 minutes. Load should be near 0 and we could have for example main.mirrors.archlinux.org point to the fast mirror. If I'm not mistaken the script should always try to resync when something doesn't seem to be ok (rsync should exit > 0 in that case), but I might have forgotten some edge cases.
PS: A mailinglist for mirror stuff (like this discussion) with all mirror admins would also be quite nice.

As a mirror admin (mirrors.rit.edu) , I second that request, although perhaps one low traffic list (mandatory script updates, bulletins, etc) and one for discussions? Or perhaps some other scheme entirely. -- Lee Burton lburton@mrow.org 301 910 0246
