The problem I see here is that if one of the two mirrors is out of
sync, even for a small duration, things can "ping-pong" for clients,
and get very quickly annoying. I'd prefer having one main server as
"ftp.rpmfusion.org", with private rsync access for public mirrors, and
use mirrorlists by default for our repositories.

Pix : If you can provide what's needed for ftp.rpmfusion.org, that
would be great :-)
