Yes. Even better would be a redirection service to the next mirror.
The would serve two purposes:

- close statistics on mirror usage and performance
- usually better-than-manual routing

As we usually don't have access to the BGP data we can't use  
SuperSparrow [1], but
something like mirrorbrain [2] could be used.


Best regards
