Re: README patch (Re: More documentation cleanups)

[Steef Boerrigter <sxmboer sci kun nl>]

Pavel,


It's true what Frédéric states.
If I lookup ftp.gnome.org from The Netherlands:
# nslookup ftp.gnome.org
 it is addressed to
130.239.18.141:churchill.acc.umu.se

It is apparently an automatic redirect scheme of the gnome project.

If you do an nslookup from within America you probably don't notice any
redirection.
Since the automatic mirroring is transparent and not an mc feature, I
think it is irrelevant to put a note in the mc documentation. In other
words:
Frédéric was right, but I still support your decision.


Regards,
Steef
