Re: Mirror in .pt

Hi Nuno Vieria,

Thanks for your feedback. As i told, we are fully open to host php project, but that is a decision that should be taken by PHP group managing people. Describing NFSi, we are an Hosting and Colocation provider based in Portugal. We have our own network based on AS25137 (1), and also well connected to Internet, having presence in GigaPIX (2) and AMS-IX (3). (1) - Autonomous System 25137 http://www.radb.net/cgi-bin/radb/whois.cgi?obj=AS25137 (2) - Gigabit Portuguese Internet Exchange http://www.fccn.pt/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=8&MMN_position=3:3 (3) - Amsterdam Internet Exchange http://www.ams-ix.net/ I think that is a bad policy for you to have TWO mirrors either in the same AS either in the same Network. It would be much better to have two mirrors in different AS/Networks for a country. Even the worse problem is that since PTM.com (Portugal Telecom aka the incumbent) have a strict peering policy, and you have a lot of Portuguese Users connected thru some ISP's that don't have direct peering with Portugal Telecom, where the traffic goes up to London or Amsterdam and came back. You should choose another mirror for php.pt hosted in a network rich in peering, at least in Portugal. I will not beg anymore for this. If you want a not-so-indecent mirror in .pt, just drop me an email.

Since none of the two pt mirrors are up to our latest mirroring guildelines yet, I would suggest you set up a mirror to replace the current (www.)pt.ph.net mirror site. Both pt.php.net and pt2.php.net are disabled since the end of august, and they are not responding nor acting on our notices of their mirrors being disabled, so it seems they don't care anymore. Please provide the required info for the mirror registration once you have completed the setup. Regards, Gabor Hojtsy
