Either use a script on www.chipchat.com (list all A records on 
that DNS name) that works out the nearest server to the client 
IP address and issues a redirect to the nearest working mirror
or simply have a homepage listing all mirrors with absolute
hrefs to the content directory on a specific mirror.
