Hi, Stephen Balbach wrote: > And Netscape has some mighty big SGI's promintently displayed as > you walk in. Netscape's web servers? Interesting, does Netscape now host their gigahit-per-day web servers outside the West Coast (in-house or at ISI.NET?) I was wondering if Netscape now "redirects" web browsers to their "nearest" server? This would be cool if it would set a precedent; hopefully they and other high-volume providers would set up mirrors *outside* the US so that folks wouldn't spend their bandwidth pulling their (uncacheable) pages in. If Netscape is indeed doing this, do HTTP traffic analysis and the business case show that selecting different locations for web servers is "worth it"?
