Hi all,

 

In running our mirror of EPEL at UKFast, we have noticed that many of our own IP ranges and indeed the AS do not use our own mirror, but another nearby one. As I understand it, with “ASN Clients?” ticked and the IPs/ASN being correct, this should force all within our ASN and those IP ranges to use our mirror if my thinking is correct?

 

Looking at the manual latency tests performed by fastestmirror, it does look like due to the proximity of the other mirror they may get a response in marginally faster. Is there a way to guarantee all of our own AS/IP ranges uses our own mirror instead of external ones? There are no server-side limitations to HTTP/HTTPS traffic which might cause it to be unavailable.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Thomas
