With the website mentioning "unless you have a very good reason", I do believe I have a valid reason for the ca2.php.net (which is currently non-existant), to be hosted on my infrastructure. [egateDomains] php.ca (216.235.6.145) Sioux Lookout, Ontario, CANADA [EasyDNS] php.easydns.ca (66.207.199.35) Cochrane, Ontario, CANADA Both of the existing Canadian mirrors are located on the East coast of Canada, optimized primarily for those who are on the east coast. My server backbones are situated in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where there is no mirror. Looking over the US mirrors they seem to be spread evenly over the country beneifiting all users. All I ask is that the opportunity to provide a benefit for all the Shaw, Telus and other connectivity users of the West coast have a local server which they can count on. I hope that you as a group, are able to see some merit in this reason. Regards, Nathan.
