Comment (by pbrobinson):

 > Of course, this bypasses the need for mirrors but I wonder if this could
 be an acceptable alternative to trying to push the bits around.  Would one
 or two servers be able to handle the load of a single update every so
 often?

 I thought this had been discussed already and was considered reasonable (I
 might be widely wrong here).  Ultimately it would only have to handle the
 package load while the content made it to the mirrors which could be done
 in parallel. IE push to both at the same time with priority to the mirrors
 so if the same NVR was on a mirror system it would prioritise that. The
 only issue with that approach would be clients refreshing meta data as
 you'd likely want a low TTL on the meta data cache but with few packages
 that should be small.
