I was not thinking so much about trust, but rather fault detection. If
the requesting cache detects that the "redirected" cache is unavailable,
should the grand central be notified about this?

While speaking about trust. If the grand central has records of more
than one cache having the object then it probably should respond with
more than one cache address, to give the requesting cache a option to
select which cache to fetch the object from based on trust, bandwidth or
cost configuration.
