Yes, i mailed this issue before to this list and two days ago I wrote to  
William McArthur (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/mirroring.html) about the DSL 
dialin  that is used as a server ip for a rsync mirror. This ip was then 
removed.

Well, this time another ip, but the same problem -> DSL dialin and some other 
hosts with no response.

I think it is needed to set some requirements for rsync mirrors to be 
fullfilled before a new one is added to the list of rsync mirrors.

Just my 0.02 euro¢
