One would think the various registries might make a deal to host "mirror"
sites for each other and then spread the word that if for instance,
rs.arin.net isn't working, you should try rs2.arin.net (which might reside
somewhere in Europe).  People in Europe, might naturally just use
rs2.arin.net, knowing that its closer and faster for them.
