If you wish to be a public mirror of apache, you need the following requirements o a unix system o 5G of disk space currently (8G preferred over the next 12 months) o an average of a 100M/day incoming, with upto 2G+ possible in a single day's update if daily builds are happening. o a web server (preferably apache?) and anonymous ftp service installed o a rsync client Your web server needs to be able to be configured to support http://apache.yourdomainname.TLD Apache mirroring is handled in two tiers. Tier-1s must mirror at least twice daily and make their apache mirror available to downstream sites via rsync. They should have at least a T3 connection to the Internet. Tier-2s, the vast majority, can sync from the closest Tier-1, otherwise the master apache server. They should have at least a T1 connection to the internet, unless they are the sole mirror in that country/region. regards, -jason
