Yeah, that's his home line isn't it.

The test (temporary for the past day or so) was to rotate round-robin
equally between vt100 and tim. Again, most people hit a mirror after that,
so what machine gets the initial html page wouldn't be as large of traffic
as one would think. Normally.
The idea (now that the "random" url module works) would be that once someone
hits bitsavers.org, it transfers them off to any one of all the mirrors (not
just 2). The mirrors all update from the main bitsavers copy about every
day, or they wouldn't be mirrors would they :)
Once I got it working I was going to discuss this with Al off-list, will do
that now :)

My test case while working on the mirror redirection software was vt100 and
trailing edge. I didn't mean to leave it in place, but I did fall asleep at
the keyboard the night I was working on it (literally).
I'm concerned if it might cause Tim issues. If he got excessive bandwidth
charges, I will pay them, no questions asked. However, I am a bit concerned
if this would cause a problem. Anyone who has signed up as a bitsavers
mirror as been advised that they must make their mirror public, and they
must be able to sustain a reasonable load (fair share) of bandwidth -
otherwise they shouldn't be mirroring it (this is just meant to make it fair
for everyone, including me). That's not to say that 1/2 the load is fair, it
isn't. But a suprising number of people hit the bitsavers site and then
select their favorite mirror, so I wouldn't think it would have made that
much difference. Let me know if so.

Yep. They both resolve to 209.145.140.17 here. If I ask that server
for bitsavers.org I get an HTTP 302 to
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/

Yes. I sent one message yesterday in the evening (in Europe) about the
matter to Al.
It wouldn't be a problem if the mirrors would be updated but isn't so.

Yes, I've been trying to get the redirection mod working for ages, finally
figured it out. But I was just testing, didn't mean to leave it on to just a
couple sites. It's turned off now :)
