I've been pondering the possiblity of using a "learning redirector" for
this kind of thing. It might be possible to have a cron job scan through
you cache periodicly and "learn" mirror sites that can then be used by a
re-director.
I don't think that it is possible to know the objects are identical untill
you fetch it. I don't even know if it is feasable to find out the size
before you fetch it.
