Description:
------------
There are actually several problems:
il.php.net gone from dns (again)
il2.php.net gone from dns as well (not sure if this is on purpose and mirror 
really gone away, or this is dns problem).
il1.php.net is *alive* (this is OK)

however, despite il1.php.net being up and alive, php.net main hub does not 
redirect http://php.net/* to http://il1.php.net/* for israeli ips as it should.

instead, php.net handles request itself. but default language is set to *de* 
(looks like de mirror is the main hub now).

please, fix redirect and dns...

Expected result:
----------------
1. il.php.net should exist in dns (users should not need to guess every time they 
get to php.net which israeli mirror is alive at this time).
IMHO this should be round-robin across all country mirrors. this way it also 
distributes load across them

2. Main php.net hub should redirect to appropriate country mirror OR if none 
available at the very least serve content in english.


Actual result:
--------------
1. il.php.net is not resolvable. one should currently guess that il1.php.net is, 
and at other points of time - it is il2.php.net...

2. php.net hub does not redirect to a live il1.php.net mirror, and serves content 
in deutsch.

The il1.php.net mirror isn't currently configured to serve the php.net site for 
the il.php.net hostname.
We can put back that mirror to the il.php.net record when it is configured 
properly.

ps: we don't have a secondary mirror for il (eg. there is no il2.php.net).

Hi tyrael!

You're right, there is currently no il2, but it did exist in the past (a few 
months ago it did), at some point of time only il2 existed and il1 - not.

So, as i said, depending on a moment in time, one should guess which mirror 
address to type, and this also renders bookmarks useless.

In addition, if mirror il1 is up (and it is), then php.net hub should redirect 
to it. This always worked. Stopped a few days ago, and now php.net responds by 
itself and in deutsch.

the mirror was already fixed, so I only had to put it back to the round robin dns.
the dns zone should be updated soon.
