That would be slick.  Maintaining all those dl-* pages isn't too much
work, since that's all highly automated.  All I need to do is rsync everything
to the new mirror add a mirror description like 
	<mirror name="VD-server"
		homepage="http://www.vd-server.de"
		link="dl-vd-server.html"
		location="Dusseldorf, Germany"
		prefix="http://usermodelinux.vdserver.de/uml"
		suffix="vd-server"/>

to my mirrors list, and all the necessary html gets created automatically.

Automatic redirection would definitely be a nice addition.  And, as little
work as this is for me, it would still be nice to offload it :-)
