What kind of load/traffic should we expect on the mirrors
from this change ?
I assume this would be done through multiple IP addresses
on the DNS entry of random.php.net.. How would you make sure
that all mirrors respond to the name? Or would this be done
through an http redirection script on www.php.net?
