[Apt-proxy-users] Can apt-proxy deal with servers that are temporary offline?

[Thorsten G. <tgu...@gm...>]

Hi *,
In my apt-proxy.conf I specified several servers:
,----
| ...
| add_backend /main/                                      \
|         $APT_PROXY_CACHE/main/                          \
|         ftp.de.debian.org::debian/                      \
|         ftp2.de.debian.org::debian/                     \
|         ftp.us.debian.org::debian/                      \
|         ftp.uk.debian.org::debian/
| ...
`----

quoting man apt-proxy.conf:
,----
| ... would turn  into  a  back-end  request  of first
| `somelocalmirror::helixcode/debian/woody/main/binary-i386/x11/foo_1-1.deb'
| and  if  that  failed,
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| `spidermon­key.helixcode.com::http/distributions/debian/woody/main/binary-i386/x11/foo_1-1.deb' 
`----

So I expected that I wouldn't notice it if ftp.de.debian.org is offline
while ftp2.de.debian.org is online. Well - I noticed it ;-)

Comments?

regards
 Thorsten
