MirrorManager 1.3.0 is live now.  You can enter host names (A or AAAA
records only please; it won't chase down CNAMEs) into your
Host's netblock list, and MirrorManager will honor it.  This means,
if you have dynamic DNS keeping your A records up-to-date, MM will
point your users at your mirror.  As MM only does DNS lookups every
hour, there may be a small window where your IP changes, DNS changes,
but MM hasn't caught up yet.

Also, MirrorManager is now IPv6 enabled.  mirrors.fedoraproject.org
and download.fedoraproject.org are both reachable by IPv6, and it does
IPv6 (and 6to4) GeoIP lookups too.  The IPv6 GeoIP table is pretty
limited, but with the addition of 6to4 lookups, I think will be quite
usable.  You can add your IPv6 netblocks too.

Thanks,
Matt
