 Mirrors should provide their data over HTTP or FTP or both. Each official
 mirror will be assigned a mirror number (wwwXXX.mplayerhq.hu or
 ftpXXX.mplayerhq.hu where XXX is the mirror number). This mirror
-number determines the hostname over which it will be reached.
+number determines the hostname over which it can be reached directly.
+
+All mirrors are put into our DNS round-robin for the www.mplayerhq.hu and
+ftp.mplayerhq.hu names and should be set up to respond to these names as well.

 appear to default to defining a standard charset. This breaks our documentation
 translations, which are written in different encodings.
 
+The second VirtualHost is necessary for the DNS round-robin address.
