 > Is there another server we could be rsync'ing the private server to as
 well?

 The private server is passive. It does not push its content to other
 servers; other servers pull content from it. Because the private server
 has limited upstream bandwidth, we have arranged for FAU to be the only
 server that pulls from it. Other mirrors pull from FAU, via the hostname
 rsync-origin.macports.org.

 We could temporarily change rsync-origin.macports.org to point to the
 private server.

 > Can the CDN be configured with a 'backup' origin (so if/when the origin
 goes down it will continue to serve)?

 The CDN can only be configured to use one origin server, as far as I know.
 When the origin server is down or has errors, it is supposed to serve up
 its cached content.

 We could switch the CDN to use our private server as the origin. We can
 see whether we have enough upstream bandwidth to support that.
