:-))) That is precisely what I do here. I have two directories
	/etc/mirror/packages
	/etc/mirror/mm
with the later for mirror-master scripts that call the ones in the packages
dir. There have to be two dirs because by convention the file for a ftp host
with IP name foo.bar.net is called foo.bar.net. Cron then calls a script
whcih deals with setting up a CSLIP connection and upon succes calls
	mirror-master /etc/mirror/mm/ftp.debian.org
        mirror-master /etc/mirror/mm/sunsite.unc.edu
The fist maintains my Debian mirror, and the second mirrors the HOWTOs for
the doc-linux package I look after.

  Costa> Reading the mirror-master manpage answered some of my questions.

Would you some lame tame examples to contribute that I could put in the
Debian package for mirror?

Brian was of course right, and I should put something other than
mirror.default in /etc/mirror.
