I would say: let's set up a backup mirrorlist server and hope that in an
emergency we will manage to switch the DNS fast enough.

All I need is an account on the "backup mirrorlist server" and someone
who can do some changes to the webserver configuration to get it
running.

The mirrorlist is in python and needs mod_wsgi. It needs to be able to
run a cronjob and that should be enough (more or less).
