I thought that all mirrors had a requirement to have php enabled? could
we do an email->database gateway, where the mirror would email in stats
that a script on the server side could then parse and dump into the
database?
the other option would be a php script that checked if
scripts.postgresql.org was reachable, and if so, did a GET request to do
the dump before redirecting to the mirror itself ... assuming a fairly
short timeout on the check ...
