As Edwin mentioned in a recent post, we have a new CVSup mirror on the
Australian East Coast (CVSUP3.AU). Following the recommendation in the
Hubs Article, we are synchronizing with an upstream server hourly (at
hh:18).

The upstream (non-master) mirror which appears to be the best option for
us is CVSUP4.US (the ISC mirror on the USA West Coast), so that is what
we have been using. Without having made any prior arrangement for access
to that server, our connections are being rejected typically 4 to 6
times per day.  These synchronization failures tend to clump together
during our evening, resulting in anything up to a 7-hour lapse in
syncronization. Here is an example of a 6-hour lapse:

  ----------------
  ozsrv01> zgrep -A1 -B1 ^Rej /var/log/cvsup.log.3.gz
  Connected to cvsup4.us.freebsd.org
  Rejected by server: Access limit exceeded; try again later
  CVSup update ends at 2008-07-17 02:18:03

  ----------------

An application for CVSUP-MASTER access was lodged by hostmaster@au on
July 3. Is the most appropriate action to continue sit tight and wait to
hear back on that, or to arrange access to CVSUP4.US or some other
upstream server? If we could arrange access to CVSUP4, that would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any advice and assistance.
