>For large sites that have a caching proxy, pre-loading info info the >cache/directory could be useful. Most large mirrors already have >'ls -alR' files around. You could then process these to pre-load the >cache's directory. I remember there were studies that showed proxy caching was not much of an improvement. Cannot remember references right away, but one of them was DEC's Proxy caching study , it appeared in one of the first WWW conferences. Has anyone given thought to some sort of a hierarchy of caches ? Maybe topical caches as opposed to regional ? Caching could be a combination of server-side Proxy caching as well as caching at the hierarchy. The hierarchy of caches would be neither at the server nor at the client, somewhere in between. ?? - Chanda Dharap ---------------- Philips research Labs, Palo Alto, CA
