Sounds great! How is you plan to sync those? Would you sync one of your
server from one of our tier 1 mirrors and then sync the others from
there?

That's not a problem as you also provide http. We just no longer
advertise the use of ftp as it has all kinds of disadvantages. This
would then only exclude mirrors that only offer ftp. So you should be
fine.
