[tor-mirrors] A couple of questions

[AskApache Webmaster]

ditto, have seen no sustained DDoS since launched.  Anyone wanting to break
in to a tor mirror will likely be good enough to not be noticed (who do you

Personally I keep my mirror on a separate dedicated box on a separate
network, always a plus to make it a relay as well.
