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.
