CPAN Cluster

ask writes "We are working on a global CPAN cluster. That is, ftp.perl.org and ftp.cpan.org will in the future give you the IP of your local CPAN mirror.

If you want to have a mirror in the cluster too, then make sure your CPAN mirror lives in the /pub/CPAN path and that we know about it. You can register your mirror. In the "notes" field specify that you want to participate in the cluster. Also make sure to NOT mirror from ftp.perl.org or ftp.cpan.org (for obvious reasons).

Oh, and subscribe to the cpan-cluster mailinglist by sending mail to cpan-cluster-subscribe@perl.org."


and it already works. sorta.

more mirrors
places to run the funny nameserver

Should we take it out for dinner or buy it some chocolates or something?
