We're not doing anything really sophisticated yet. We think a good use of URNs is automatic redirection to a close mirror site. We are asking if you would like to help us out by installing a simple CGI script on your server. Squid would use this CGI script to turn a URN for frebsd.org into a list of URLs. For more details, see http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/urn-support.html, or please us for clarification. Duane W. -- wessels@nlanr.net Think Globally, Cache Locally.
