+Interesting idea. Never thought about using two mirrors in the config.
+
+I fought with urpmi-proxy today for a while. No matter what I tried,
+when downloading a synthesis via the proxy it always ended up too small
+and with md5sum failures. Requesting the same file direct from the
+mirrors worked every time. I noticed that the file never ended up in the
+cache tree, just in the tmp dir. Time wasn't on my side, so I didn't
+debug further... one to fight another day.
+
+(this is with urpmi-proxy-0.3.2-1.mga2 on mga2 FWIW)
