add proactive mirroring idea
The future of Bouncer depends on the development of UMO and what role people see it playing in relation to Mozilla's update service. It will continue to distribute binaries through the mirror network, but how it can better fit into Mozilla's workflow has yet to be determined. We are working on figuring out how it can help automate and combine builds, updates, etc. The best is yet to come.
=== Bouncer Ideas ===
* Proactive mirroring
** It occurs to me (Chase) that if bouncer has a list of mirror sites and then checks the sites for new file additions as we add them to dmo, we are nearly to the point of closing the loop and just signaling to the mirror sites that a new file is available for d/l and for them to grab it. From here, we could do other sorts of neat things:
*** Specify the exact set of files that have changed, to avoid having site-wide rsyncs that check the entire disk needlessly.
*** Schedule the initiation of the syncing so that the seed hosts aren't swamped by requests.
