Prepare two versions of the sources.list files and name them for
eg. MIRROR0 and MIRROR1. Create a hook (for task updatebase) which
uses fcopy for copying one of these files to the new system before
installing sofware packages. Add a small script to /fai/class which
defines the class MIRROR0 or MIRROR1 depending on ip-address modulo 2.
Please, post these little scripts to this mailling list :-)
