Thanks for working this out. It would be nice to have checks for such common errors as the multiviews, var handler and other stuff, which many mirrors have problems with. It is important to have xx.php.net as a ServerName, so that users will not get redirected and handled through some other address. You can get the list of mirror maintainers while logged in to master.php.net at http://master.php.net/manage/mirrors.php I thought about implementing a quick mail feature, where we can have some checkboxes in each mirror line, and we can choose to notify some maintainers about a common problem they have. It might be a good idea to implement this now. Let me know if you are interested in hooking this into the mirrors.php file in php-master-web, and have a patch to commit. Goba
