[mirror-admin] Fedora mirrors: new Tier 0 mirrors / Internet2 joy

[Günther Fischer]

To use the 2 Tier 0's I need access - please add
babbage.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de has address 134.109.132.91 and
bonaparte.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de has address 134.109.132.16

this is for fedora.tu-chemnitz.de/rsync.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de

please add also both to the Redhat-ACLs - only the 134.109.132.91 is there.

BTW: I think I get also fedora1 over GEANT ...
