Vancouver, BC - Mirror

I would like to find out more information about becoming a Mirror for
PHP.net.

Currently offering a full suite of services revolved around PHP and would
love to be able to sponsor a mirror.

Only question I have is how many gigs a month does a Canadian mirror usually
consume?

Warmest regards,
Nathan.

Hey Derek,

Thanks for the link.

I would like to be a stand-by Canadian mirror. As I can tell right now there
is a ca.php.net and a ca3.php.net. Based on the mirrors.php, only two
mirrors per country. That being said, is there a waiting list to become a
mirror in Canada? Could an exception be made for a third mirror in Canada?

My server is hosted on a multi-homed network with BGP-advertised address
space and connections to multiple Tier-1 providers
* 2 x GigE (Big Pipe, Level 3)
* 1 x OC-12 (MCI)
* 1 x 100 Mbps (VAIX)

The bandwidth of 30GB/month is fine with me as I run a hosting company. And
I currently run PHP 4.3.x which should work fine.

Warmest regards,
Nathan.

We have no waiting lists, and we will not make exceptions. We've also
had no complaints about the other canadian mirrors, so for now we are
not in need of any new ones.

With the website mentioning "unless you have a very good reason", I do
believe I have a valid reason for the ca2.php.net (which is currently
non-existant), to be hosted on my infrastructure.

[egateDomains] php.ca (216.235.6.145)  Sioux Lookout, Ontario, CANADA
[EasyDNS] php.easydns.ca (66.207.199.35) Cochrane, Ontario, CANADA

Both of the existing Canadian mirrors are located on the East coast of
Canada, optimized primarily for those who are on the east coast.

My server backbones are situated in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where there is no
mirror.

Looking over the US mirrors they seem to be spread evenly over the country
beneifiting all users.

All I ask is that the opportunity to provide a benefit for all the Shaw,
Telus and other connectivity users of the West coast have a local server
which they can count on.

I hope that you as a group, are able to see some merit in this reason.

Regards,
Nathan.
