I think you are missing what we did :)
It used to be that we rsynced all of archives.postgresql.org (website,
php files, mbox files etc..).
Now we just rsync mbox. Basically we are saving bandwidth and allowing
marc to deccomission and old fbsd4 box. Operationally for all dependent
stuff nothing should change. The locations, urls, ips etc.. didn't change.
