Very good work... thanks for mentioning my name :) Actually I'm suspending
work on push caching for the moment since it'll be a core part of the
new Squid, if it is indeed adopted. I like the idea that different
functions are distributed across different servers; that's very good
for scaling up the service by just adding more boxes.

I can imagine a cluster of Pentiums/PPros on a switched 100 MB Ethernet
handling the load of a DS3, and when the load gets high, just add another
machine and let the controller know about it without shutting down the
service.

I was also thinking of how do the others do it... like for example
the commercial Harvest, what's it up to right now... and Mirror Image,
too.

So where do we start coding? :)

Cheers,
