With mirroring, I have a guarantee that, at the time of mirroring, Ihave everything that is in the archive that I'm mirroring.Would read caching make the same guarantees?
I most certainly don't want my cache to be a mirror.
That said, the implementation would probably be a mirror variant, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to make archive-mirror work with caches.
I must be misreading you. Didn't you say "we wouldn't need local mirrors?" As in, 'do this caching thing, and now nobody needs a localmirror any more'
I was being self-centered. I use a local mirror for download reduction, not disconnected operation.
For me, a cache would provide 1. download reduction 2. writethrough For you, it would provide 1. disconnected operation 2. writethrough (when connected). You'd have to treat it like a mirror though, to ensure you were up to date. Aaron -- Aaron Bentley Director of Technology Panometrics, Inc.
