Hey David, sorry for the slow reply, we've all been ridiculously busy
lately. If we haven't run you off, here's the info we need to set you up
as a mirror:

IP address of mirror server
Port number if non-standard
Hostnames/ip addresses of 1 or 2 machines that you will use to rsync the
site. For most sites this will be the same as the server.

In addition, ftp mirrors may have a path to the mirrored content.

In order for website mirrors to work, you must be able to setup a
virtual host on your server.

Please let us know what type of mirror (or both) you wish to host, and
what the appropriate details are.

thanks in advance,

Robert Treat

Dear Robert,
Also sorry for the delay, I've been lumbered into a sales role for the last
couple of weeks, yada, yada, yada, real busy too.
I've got the virtual host ready;

<VirtualHost 203.202.10.60>
         ServerAdmin webmaster@ilisys.com.au
         DocumentRoot /home/postgresql
         ServerName postgresql.mirrors.ilisys.com.au
         ServerAlias www.postgresql.mirrors.ilisys.com.au
         ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/postgresql/cgi-bin/
         CustomLog /home/logs/postgresql.mirrors.ilisys.com.au-access_log
ilisys-log
</VirtualHost>


This is the basic syntax (from a crontab) that I use for updates;
7 4 * * * rsync -avzC --timeout=600 --delete --delete-after
rsync.php.net::phpweb /home/php > /dev/null 2>&1

What is the address I should use to rsync postgresql.org?

Anything else you need?


Regards,
David Wilcox
