The localhost wget problem appears to be resolved for the moment, or
was intermittent.  A wget executed on sunjammer was HTTP 302
redirected to mirrors.mit.edu, although sunjammer itself would be more
appropriate.

The wget from my desktop in Australia continues to redirect to broken
mirror, which is "correct" as far as mirrorbrain is concerned.

The sunjammer GeoIP database hasn't been updated since 2009-10-09.  I
suggest checking that geoip-lite-update is called by cron.

The GeoIP database correctly returns -- for 127.0.0.1, NA for
208.118.235.53 (sunjammer), and OC for mirror.aarnet.edu.au and my own
IP.

quozl at sunjammer:~$ geoiplookup_continent -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat 127.0.0.1

quozl at sunjammer:~$ geoiplookup_continent -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat sunjammer.sugarlabs.org

quozl at sunjammer:~$ geoiplookup_continent -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat 208.118.235.53
NA
quozl at sunjammer:~$ geoiplookup_continent -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat mirror.aarnet.edu.au
OC
quozl at sunjammer:~$ geoiplookup_continent -f /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat 121.212.117.x
OC


It wasn't possible to check the mirrorbrain configuration.

quozl at sunjammer:~$ mb list
