We also need at least two sites that will themselves become push servers.
It isn't feasable to have everyone mirroring master directly.
The two requirements for a push server are a big disk (everything should fit
into 10GB for another year - I hope) and lots of bandwidth. We could even
maintain the mirror.

Maybe we should offer free admin services for mirrors. I suspect we have the
experience. :) What is the going rate for administering a machine?
