    Ack...I had figured that most mirror sites were using either the
'mirror' package, or, now, rsync :(

    Yes, I changed it to index.html on purpose...with .shtml, every

"process" the file for any SSI directives.  This causes extra load on your
machine(s), which at least one mirror site showed concern about :(
