hi marcel,

this needs to be put in a separate tree on ftp-master with a separate
share (not anywhere under the FreeBSD/ area!)

Jun (and a few others) came up with a good structure for how ftp-master
propagates stuff out and for cleaning up the existing structure a bit
to allow for requests like the above, where some mirrors can carry
ia64, but we really want to limit it since there is a load associated
with mirroring from ftp-master also.

some additional information

o how often will you be doing snapshots?
o total size of the snapshot, broken down

	- disk space for isos (how many?)
	- disk space for release tree
	- disk space for package tree

if the total is less than a gig (1G) then it's not going to be a big
deal at all.  if it is more like 2 or 4G then it is an issue.

regards,

-jason
