Mirror - no longer using closest?

Hi All,

Has something changed with the mirror system lately?

I noticed that our mirror traffic halved in January and February, but didn't
think much of it until now.

I've just gone to the download page (eg:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi )

Where a few Australian mirrors would previously be listed with backup
mirrors at the end, there are now a heap of mirrors but no Australian
mirrors in the list.

This happens from both my home and office, so thought I'd post to see if
anyone else is experiencing this isuse.

-Shaun

I've just figured out why I'm seeing the funny mirror list.

Sometime recently www.apache.org and subdomains have deployed IPv6 AAAA
records.

I have native IPv6 connectivity at home and the office, so when this
happened I started getting a list of random mirrors (but not the Australian
ones).

FYI this is what I see:
http://cdn.se.id.au/miscimages/httpd-mirrors.jpg

For what it's worth, our mirror (http://apache.mirror.aussiehq.net.au) has
native IPv6 connectivity, so if you ever start doing GeoIP with IPv6... :)

Yep, I get the same as Shane.

However, a recent upgrade to ASF servers saw a GeoIP module missing,
hopefully that is sorted now.
