Re: TerraSync / CDN hosting

@Torsten / @Curt,


As an interim measure, would there be any reason we cannot look at changing
the terrasync.fg NAPTR records to only contain those mirrors that are
online? I am seeing widespread encouragement from more and more users of
forcing a single mirror. The main ones I am seeing suggested are (
https://terrasync.eti.pg.gda.pl/ts and worse, sourceforge), and inevitably
when normal service is resumed, the vast majority of people probably will
not remove that configuration and will continue to only use the single
server, defeating the purpose of the NAPTR record, which as I understand
among other things was actually for exactly this usecase - Being able to
change the mirrors available to use without having to recompile FG, in the
event that some go offline or new ones come online.

There are more and more users daily getting frustrated that things are
offline and now, the solutions that are being spread may end up harming the
project more than they realise in the long run.
