On the PATHNAME = URL idea, I could imagine this could also be useful, if at all possible, because I could offload some packages to a variety of other backend servers according to demand. I could have the DBs hosted on a server with limited bandwidth but high availability and offload some or all of the packages to another server with a higher and/or cheaper bandwidth quota. I could perhaps use Amazon S3 cloud for important popular packages and a Dreamhost cheapie account for less popular packages, all from the same repo sync DB.
That sounds ugly. Don't you have more transparent ways to achieve the same?
