Hello, While it is clear to me that the PHP Group is currently not accepting new mirrors in countries that already have a good list of established mirrors, I thought that I would still voice my opinion on the matter. Based on the research I have done of the mirrors located in the United States and Mexico, I have concluded that the servers are in such a configuration that there is no real central tie between the two countries. According to the service that I used to pinpoint the location of the IP addresses of the mirrors, a lot are apart. While this is good to provide fast loading for people on the East or West coast and near Mexico city, I believe the system can be improved. The server location that I am proposing is a server located in Fort Worth, Texas. While it may seem one in this location is not necessary, I can see it as a fine location for people on the border of the United States and Mexico to connect. --- Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States. Proposed Address: us4.php.net CNAME Record: phpmirror.mihalism.net Name: Michael Morris Contact Address: michael@mihalism.net Local Stats: Disabled Hosting Company: Slicehost (Rackspace Owned) Hosting URL: http://www.slicehost.com/ (High End Package - Had for over a Year) --- I do expect failure from this request because the number of already established servers in the United States, but I feel the tie could help PHP.
