No, that's the point. All the mirrors would be selected on the master
server, giving a single point of failure. I'm far from convinced that
it's worth it. The *only* benefit to users is that the flags for their
country would be shown seperately on the mirror selection pages, saving
them may 2 seconds to spot their flag in the main grid.
