True > Please read more careful. I have to admit that from my side it was kind of simplification (unintentional I have to add). But if we're going into such detailed semantics would then 'should' mean it will be available without any geographical, provider or any other kind of restriction except self restriction users will put on them selfs to comply with Azure request? If that's the case I'm not convinced that it will work, but in such case I will not oppose to assign d.o name to this mirror(s) on the same premise as other mirrors are operating. I still think that having this mirror integrated with httpredir.d.o is the best option.

So, having above in mind maybe it's worth to speak to MS (Azure) about sponsoring mirror for Debian as a project which could be used as a default for all Azure based images but with no limits on incoming and outgoing traffic and then just add it to our mirror list? -- |_|0|_| | |_|_|0| "Heghlu'Meh QaQ jajVam" | |0|0|0| -------- kuLa --------- | gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x58C338B3 3DF1 A4DF C732 4688 38BC F121 6869 30DD 58C3 38B3
