I would assume the guy making the patch set would put the base rsync  
URL of *his* server in the patched client. :)

In fact, the way to do it would be to have in some XML file in the  
client...

<update-server>http://example.com/thingy/whatzit/osx.xml</update-server>

And that would then return...

<update tag="20071023" path="Contents/ 
MacOS">mirror1.example.com::updates/osx/MacOS</update>
<update tag="20071101" path="Contents/Resources/character"  
type="optional">mirror1.example.com::updates/20071101/character</update>
...

Then you could have it return a different mirror on every request.
