security.debian.org is not and will not be mirrored. putting authenticity asside mirrors by their very nature will get updates slower then the main server. this can be quite a serious problem for security updates. even worse, if the mirror script gets broken and nobody notices for a few weeks/months. security updates are generally small and infrequent (well not always infrequent..) so mirroring really isn't necessary anyway. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
