Re: Inadequate hosting for www.postgresql.org?

That's why mirrors are pulled from http://www.postgresql.org, nor are they
pulled using what I'd guess you are using ( wget? ) below, but using rsync
... hasn't been for years now ...

In fact, over the next little while, http://www.postgresql.org will
actually be pointing to an RR DNS entry, and not even the 'base server'
... I've just gotta sit down and update the DNS generation scripts for
this ...
