I think we make mirrors available with a process like this:

codex.mirrors.sourcemage.org.   TXT "count=12"
                                CNAME codex1.mirrors.sourcemage.org.
...
                                CNAME codex12.mirrors.sourcemage.org.
codex1.mirrors.sourcemage.org.  TXT "cc=uk url=/smgl-mirror/ proto=http"
                                CNAME somewhere.overthere.org.
...
                                TXT "cc=us url=/sourcemage/ proto=ftp"
codex12.mirrors.sourcemage.org. CNAME somewhere.else.org.

In the url root we would put a LAST_UPDATED file with the contents of $(date)
(clearsigned and copied from the server), and the server could be made to 
remove
mirrors from the master dns list if it ever gets more than one week out of 
date.

Then we can have robust mirror selection with some simple dns queries.
