Apache tweak mod_expires

[Freddie Rosario]

Matt,

I don't really see any problems with having the complete list of all the
mirrors. I usually use the quick find feature in my browser(Ctr F) and that
let's me jump directly to the first mirror when I type "US". I suppose you
could make the page dynamic and return results when a user indicates a
country of origin, but wouldn't this use up more of our scarce computing
resources? Just my opinion but I wouldn't worry too much about making
/publiclist dynamic. Actually, now that I think about it. Could we not code
something to do this for the user in a client side script?
