I think it's a good feature. It's particularly interesting because it
operates at the dns level, so it works for all protocols.
Judging from http://debiancdn.appspot.com/managesurrogate I'd say
there are still some adjustments to do. An important limitation is
that it seems to use only the IP to probe mirrors by http, so it
doesn't work with name-based virtual hosts. Therefore many important
mirrors, sometimes the most important ones, are excluded.
My view is that this problem should be fixed before cdn is recommended
for widespread usage and/or used in the installer.
