I currently mirror three arch locally: i386, amd64 and SPARC.
Unfortunately my mirror is currently off-line due to a RAID failure. (I
still believe it's the card, but MegaRAID insist that I really did have
THREE drives out of a 6-drive RAID5 fail simultaneously...)

Sounds like the way to go.

I'm not sure myself yet what the changes will be.
A good list to subscribe to would be the following:
debian-mirrors-announce@lists.debian.org
debian-mirrors@lists.debian.org
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors-announce/
and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors/
to subscribe.
I will forward a copy of the info I have concerning the changes to you
off-list.
Regards,
Ozz.
