This is indeed what we are currently setting up here at NCAR with 
some NSF funding.  Our IITA server (which most sites use as a
failover when the top-tier site thelma is down) will collect and
store a recent archive of feedtype files, in nearly the same manner.
(Perhaps we should do it exactly the same manner, I'll contact
David to discuss this).  We planned to make this archive available
via a web/ftp interface.  Details will follow
