progress

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.
