Actually, it does, if the client is smart enough. Most clients today use disk cache, so why not use part of that as a database of mirrors? Or maybe extend the bookmark list to contain mirrors (it could contain mirrors of objects not visible in the bookmarks as well). As long as the user has seen the document once, his client could know where to find a mirror. // Rasmus -- kaj@cityonline.se --------------- Rasmus Kaj - http://www.e.kth.se/~kaj/ \ CityOnLine IB Production AB - http://www.cityonline.se/ \------------------------- Unite for Java! - http://www.javalobby.org/
