The decisioning for which order and what content gets returned from the SVR query is on the back-end, not on the pkg-end; pkg just takes the first one that works. For example, "host -t SVR _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org" (for me at least) returns 3 entries. pkg goes after the first one. I'd be shocked if you told me that pkg was doing geo-mapping with the 3 names it returns and determining which was was closest. Rather, pkg just does a DNS query and goes through the list of hosts. > so it is best to list only that 1 > mirror. > No. You're thinking that I'm talking about the contents of the SVR query. I'm not. I'm instead talking about... *actual* and *real* multiple names that you can query SVR data from. pkg.freebsd.org is only one There are multiples, and I believe that we should add them. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
