Especially not if you define "good" servers as those most frequently accessed because you can set up a Squid cache at the local exchange point and if every ISP connected to the local exchange point runs a cache using yours as a parent then the "good" servers miraculously become local servers. The Australians have considerable experience at doing just that including preloading their parent caches, using cheaper one-way satellite bandwidth to load the caches (skycache.com anyone?) and setting up a national backbone between exchange points so that the exchange point caches can all have sibling relationships over a controlled network infrastructure. The folks at http://www.auix.net/ can tell you more, and if you would sign up for the NANOG meeting in Dearborn you could talk to Andrew Khoo [email protected] and find out more. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: [email protected] http://www.memra.com - *check out the new name & new website*
