Don't how this is done. But I suspect it isn't so simple. Does anyone
know?
Yeah I do but I havnt done it. You must do what VisualRoute
does(www.visualroute.com) it will go through every host that the user is
routed through to locate the host often within a few miles. All you have
to do is write a java program like that or a server side app like that.
Once that’s done just redirect the user to the closes server.

It has.

I don't have any. Unless we hear something much better, I'd say lets use
it.

I think we will have a lot of problems with synchronization (not all
servers will always see each other) and it would probablt take enormous
amout of effort to set it up. I already see problems with the 'ordinary'
mirrors so I think it is better not to have too sophisticated/smart
system.
