Mmmh... you're right.  We've got two ways out here IMO.

1. Unexistent www.xx.gnupg.org points to www.gnupg.org
2. A look-up for www.xx.gnupg.org returns "server doesn't exist" error.

Which one is the best?  Number 2 maybe?

Well, Werner's running the DNS server and he has to make a decision.  Do
you think that a central management of xx.gnupg.org names would require
a lot of effort?


PS: Werner, could you hand me the e-mail addresses of mirror admins?
I'm going to send them an e-mail on this topic by the end of the week..
