Por lo que tengo entendido, un mirror simplemente replica la
información que está en un servidor primario.
El objetivo de este es servir de backup / balanceo de carga /
distribución geográfica del contenido para la mejor provisión / etc.
Gustavo, Esto es lo que propones?

La otra interpretación sería mudar Sugarlabs
Argentina/Latinoamérica/Hispana a USLA.

Por lo que puede leer de los mails, la idea era tambien migrar parte
de los hosts (como downloads.sugarlabs.org). De esta manera podríamos
ser más autónomos.

Me confunde un poco pq un mirror no tiene que atajar tooodo el
tráfico, sino solo el residual.

For what i understand, a mirror simply copies the information located
in a primary server.
The main responsability is tu serve as a backup / load balancer / geo
provisioning of content / etc.
Gustavo, is this what you propose?

Also what you've said could be interpreted as to move all Sugarlabs
Argentina/LatinAmerica/"Hispana" to USLA.

For what i can read from the emails, the idea was also to migrate part
of the hosts (like downloads.sugarlabs.org). In this way we could be
more autonomous.

I didn't quite get what you tried to propose, mainly because a mirror
doen't have to handle all the incoming traffic, but just a little part
of it.
