Hi, I have a mirror of the Snapshots & official ISOs up at 
ftp://ftp.bgp4.net/pub/DragonFly and http://www.bgp4.net/pub/DragonFly

Thanks to corecode letting me rsync nightly!

I'd also be interested in becoming a cvsup mirror, if someone could clue 
me in how to config /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror for DFly.  (I'd need to 
know What site I should mirror from, how often should I poll, what 
values to use in config.sh, etc.)

Right now the mirror is on a server of mine in Texas that has a 1000 
GB/month contract.  In the next few days, I'll be moving the mirror over 
to a server in New Jersey that I have a 2000 GB/month contract on.  :-) 
 In case of a slashdotting, I'll dns-robin robin the mirror between the 
servers.

About me:  I'm a network geek who fell in love with FreeBSD around the 
time of 4.0-STABLE's creation.  My personal servers currently run 
4.10-RELEASE-p2, but I may convert one or both to DragonFly soon, after 
some more playing around with it at home.  I'm not happy with the 
current state of the FreeBSD project or 5.x, so I'm hoping DFly will be 
my new home.  I don't code, but I'm happy to mirror stuff and make 
things break. ;-)  I would also be willing to put up a small reward 
($200 USD) for a developer to bring pf & ALTQ over from OpenBSD.

Thanks!

Janet
