Explanation of the differences between archive/security/xxx.ubuntu.com

[Gavin Hemphill]

Hello there:
	As a recent adopter of ubuntu and out of a desire to set up a mirror 
for ubuntu that will be available to a large organization.  I'd like to 
set up the mirror as close as possible to the way the original is 
organized  (both ftp and http access, similar traffic shaping policies 
etc.).  I'm assuming that the difference between archive.ubuntu.com and 
security.ubuntu.com is simply one of traffic shaping policy but I can't 
find that documented anywhere so I'm not sure.  There are also other 
domain names that exist and I'd love to know what they all mean, so 
could some kind soul please explain the differences between the 
"archive/security/xxx".ubuntu.com domain names.
	G++
