Re: Processed: destruction of round-robin functionality is fucking up our mirrors and making Debian suck for many people, hence fixing this is a release-critical "wish"

Ok, no objection.  Noah, please allocate such an IP, configure an alias
eth, keep it for a while and remove it again after max. 1 month (hope that
gives Joy enough time).

In the long term, it may be helpful to acquire another US (uni) based
security mirror.  Joy, if you know of a site that had good bw and is
willing to sponsor host + bandwidth, please let me know.
