I may be wrong, but I believe that e.g. Netscape opens 4 connections by default. Can it (or any agent that opens multiple conections) have persistant connections to multiple servers, and win/win ? > For example an entire university might use images located on a master > image server and use a single URL for refering to their emblem. This seemed to me to be a good idea in general, but I'm not so sure about linking images from places around the world (Blue Ribbon, etc.) due to network problems giving partly-broken pages. See http://vancouver-webpages.com/CacheNow/ for promotional material :-) I think some of these problems may go away if/when URNs are deployed instead of URLs (for multiply-sourced objects) Andrew Daviel mailto:advax@triumf.ca TRIUMF & Vancouver Webpages
