that mirror is located at UNI, not UCA. (its on the other side of the street, 
but I'm not sure we dont have international-routing to there ;)

sounds like a good idea. I'd also support redirecting ftp*.debian.org to the 
internal mirror. (btw, on homer in /root/test there should be one and the is 
also a root-screen session running debmirror... feel free to set this up 
properly.)

I was told in April/May that in the past that mirror was very unreliable, 
thats why noone was using it. 

Maybe this has changed, maybe not. I suggest to talk to locals about this 
first, before changing cdn.d.n.


thanks & cheers,
