--- Comment #1 from John Hardin <jh...@impsec.org> ---
I've suggested it before and I'll suggest it again: if the volume of sa-update
downloads is larger than we're comfortable supporting with available
infrastructure, then the config files should try using the official mirror
servers. This is simple, transparent, automatically distributed, retrieves from
a cache server topologically near the requesting host, and is (in my
experience) reliable. It also makes updates robust in the face of temporary
unavailablility of the mirror servers.

I'm not offering this as an alternative to code changes that rate-limit
sa-update download attempts, but as anothar approach to use along with such
limits to manage load.
