Look at the entry for 200.17.202.1 (ftp.br.debian.org) in

Hm, I finally took a look at that page and have a few suggestions:
1. Please use the 2-letter codes for countries. Thanks to DNS choosing them
most of us are much more familiar with them than the 3-letter codes.
Because cdn.d.n explains two letter codes as continental code.
I will modify to show two letter code in future.
2. My mirror is classified as in the wrong country - ftp.se.d.o is indeed in
Sweden, not in ISL (iceland??).
Some months ago, I added ftp.se.d.o to act as both Sweden and Iceland mirror.
Maybe, http://ftp.is.debian.org/debian/ is CNAME virtual host.
Unfortunately, current cdn.debian.net can not support CNAME virtual host.
3. A set of US mirrors doesn't seem like an optimal choice for a machine I
run in denmark. How often is the geoip db updated? The linked geoipview has
the correct, Danish, location.
cdn.debian.net decides country according to client using DNS-server's
IP address.
Then, if you use DNS in US, cdn.debian.net return US mirrors.
When you use Google public DNS, such issues happen very often.
