Thanks a lot for the information and i have started talking to the
company regarding the mirror setup. They were quite curious to know
the benefits they would get in setting up a mirror (public/private) .
Some sort of advertisements for the company somewhere in the website
and a name mention in the web site ?

I would keep you posted on this front .

Cheers,
Balaji
