I suspect that publishing it public to the internet is sufficient. If you really wanna cover your ass offer to mail someone the source on a CD for "reasonable handling fees"... which can reasonably be fairly high if someone demands such service.

This was changed in GPLv3. To my reading, section 6(b)(2) means that if you're distributing a physical product, you can just include a link to a URL where the source can be downloaded for free.
You could read 6(b) to mean that you have to offer consumers the choice between physical-delivery-at-cost and for-free-download of the source... but I don't think that's the right reading.
