If all the pages for a remote site are concentrated on one cache server,
without replication, then the loss of a cache means that a whole site (or
region) becomes un-cached. I haven't worked out whether this is a more or
less acceptable mode of failure than the normal cache farm where the
effect of a single machine failure is seen lightly on sites all over the
net ? Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences of users' reaction to
this ?
