I thought that all mirrors had a requirement to have php enabled?  could 
we do an email->database gateway, where the mirror would email in stats 
that a script on the server side could then parse and dump into the 
database?

the other option would be a php script that checked if 
scripts.postgresql.org was reachable, and if so, did a GET request to do 
the dump before redirecting to the mirror itself ... assuming a fairly 
short timeout on the check ...
