Most mirror servers use rsync to *get* the files and keep the mirror up-to-date. However, they then *serve* the files out to their community via HTTP, FTP, and/or other mechanisms (including apt-get, yum, NFS, or rsync). You are welcome to serve those files to your community by any means you choose; you do not need to use rsync to serve the files. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz simpaticus com>
