Hi, If I understand it correctly, the FreeBSD CVS mirror system works with a master repository that each FreeBSD mirror synchronizes with regularly. If anyone wishes to operate a mirror, they must set up their system and obtain authorization to access the master CVS repository. What about adding a new tier to the CVS mirroring heirarchy? A new layer of mirrors would be useful that do not contact the master repository, but instead synchronize from a tier-1 mirror. This would permit ISPs, large organizations, colleges, schools, etc. to operate an "internal only" CVS repository from which all machines in the organization's domain could synchronize sources (cvsup) without adding additional burden to the tier-1 mirrors except for the organization's single mirror machine. Is this possible? I ask because I would like to run a limited-access CVS mirror where I work to cut down on the number of cvsup sessions hitting tier-1 mirrors. Also, how do the burdens of a cvsup session versus a CVS mirror compare? At what point is it less of a stress on resources for an organization to seek to operate a tier-2 mirror instead of individual cvsup sessions? Thank you for any and all relevant information in advance. Aaron out. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
