you can use SLP and pass it to linuxrc like this:

# get URL list via SLP
install=slp:/
# ... but only those with 'openSUSE' in the description
install=slp:/?descr=*openSUSE*
# ... and only ftp URLs
install=slp:/?descr=*openSUSE*&url=ftp:*

but that will not pick the fastest one. It only provides a list of 
installation servers that are configured in your slp server.
