cdn.debian.net seems to work well, but cannot easily be selected in d-i or seen at http://www.debian.org/mirrors/list because it is not in Mirrors.masterlist. Below is an entry that I propose adding for it. Since some of the mirrors used are Push-Primary, while others are Leaf, using "Type: GeoIP" seemed the best way to indicate it. The list of countries comes from https://osdn.debian.or.jp/repos/cdn/trunk/country/ and is useful to only have cdn.debian.net be listed for countries that it supports. It won't appear on the web page (or in choose-mirror) without some additional patching. The attached patch makes GeoIP mirrors be listed as a mirror for each country they support.
