RE: php.net Mirror Network Status Update

Hi,
I checked DNS records, and see tr.php.net has 2 A records. 95.130.168.33 is
for php.dgn.net.tr (tr2.php.net) and second one is for yours. So all traffic
goes to tr2 miror and you don't see your logo at right top. 

nslookup tr.php.net
Server:  ns2.dgntek.com
Address:  89.107.230.230

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    tr.php.net
Addresses:  95.130.168.33
          160.75.25.15

We are happy to host all Turkish traffic without problem :)

Subject: Re: php.net Mirror Network Status Update


Hi;

After this change, our logo is missed with tr.php.net.

When url is tr1.php.net, i can see the our logo at the right-top.
When url is tr2.php.net, i can see the second mirrors's logo at the
right-top.
When url is tr.php.net, i can't see any logo.

There are 2 mirrors in Turkey as tr1 and tr2. Both mirrors have own logo.
But in the tr.php.net, there is no logo...

Is it a problem or planned?
