If you want me to open the ticket with cPanel, send me the contact info 
or copy me on an "introduction" email for a hand off to me.

On a related note, I enhanced the mirror check script yesterday to 
individually test each mirror when there are multiple DNS A records for 
a mirror's hostname.  For example, I have 2 A records behind 
http://sa-update.ena.com but the mirror check script has only been 
checking one of them until yesterday.  With the potential addition of 
cPanel's many mirrors, this new logic is not just nice but necessary.
