Well.. I'm not entirely sure how we could actually go about doing this.
Most importantly, there's no chance of automatic failover, unless
they've modified the db.debian.org system to support MX and that sort of
thing. Last I heard, though, it only supported a single CNAME or A.

With that said, we *could* do a CNAME to a hostname with two MX or A
records, but that's not supposed to work with SMTP, and usually doesn't.

If nothing else, though, I would be into rsyncing the archives or
something. The page is all kept in CVS, but it wouldn't hurt to mirror
THAT, too.

Doh, thanks for reminding me, I completely forgot to add that...
