Unfortunately it is not listed in the delegation from .org, and thus doesn't really help much. If there is any interest, I'd be happy to run a secondary for freebsd.org at snipp.uninett.no. This is a very stable and well-connected host (it has a minimum of 34 Mbit/s all the way from its position in Oslo, Norway to the US). Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
