Does that explain the above? What about the redirects to mirrors with no IPv6?
No, that's different issues. The AS and Prefix matching would make the network connection an additional criteria to get redirected (e.g. if swisscom would host a mirror, and you're inside the swisscom network, this could be the preferred mirror; not that they do have any mirrors)
Ah, that would be a cool feature.
That is, as far as I understood, the current limitation of mirrorbrain (for the current reality, the assumptions are not far off, but as tmie progresses this will need adjustments); the trickiest part will be to find out if the client is dual stack or not (server info would just be administrative tasks)
Mirrors could just be ordered by address-type, then country.
