the nameserver (ddns1.develooper.com) has a very low TTL (5 seconds)
right now to make testing easier, so have a look.
$ dig -t any ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com @ns.uni2.dk
... should give you a host in Europe every time. (no hosts in
Denmark are in the cluster configuration file yet).
$ dig -t mx ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com @ns.sunet.se
... should give you the Swedish mirror every time.
$ dig -t any ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com @ns.develooper.com
... should give you a North American mirror every time.
Next is
get a reasonable number of mirrors to participate
get some proper weighting
get more nameservers running.
Right now the selection just goes off reverse dns (locally cached
with DB_File), so another goal is to get someone with a decent
database of IP -> country to let us use their data.
Any volunteers for extra nameservers? It requires root and an IP
address to bind port 53.
