You have the address(es) in the official mirror list. So, at least for
these you can continue to work without contacting the admins. These
are the most important mirrors.

Yes. However, the same IP hosts several mirrors, and we'd rather not
hard-code the IP to only one of them. That's what name-based virtual
hosts are for.
Besides, now that cdn is gaining momentum it'd be better if it were
sufficiently general to not depend on such individual hard-codings.

As Simon said, it's me.
