the problem isn't so much mirror servers, but that pyzor itself needs to be 
extended to allow for a distributed environment, which means someone needs to 
know how to program python :(

I don't ... I'm a perl/php programmer ... I have ideas on how to accomplish a 
distributed pyzor relatively easily, if someone wants to step up to the 
programming plate? :)
