Comment (by ryandesign):

 There are too many things happening in this ticket. Individual suggestions
 for infrastructure improvements should be filed in separate tickets. This
 ticket is about the current hardware degradation at the FAU server and
 will be resolved when their new hardware is in place.

 FAU continues to mirror our content, but not as frequently as before the
 hardware problem. They said they do not see a need, from a stability or
 load standpoint on their server, to move rsync.macports.org away from
 their server. Updates to users who are using that server will just be more
 delayed than usual for now.

 There have been reports of 504 errors (e.g. #60602 and some pull request
 CI build logs) when downloading from the CDN now that the CDN is set to
 get files from the private server. As I suspected, the private server's
 upstream bandwidth is insufficient to deliver the volume of requested
 files before the CDN times out and delivers an error. Therefore I've set
 distfiles-origin and packages-origin back to the FAU server.
