You are thinking squid proxy server. I am talking reverse proxy or
"accelerator" mode. Read up. =)
I thought I was being clear, I guess you didn't understand me. I
understand the difference. My point was that perhaps a big part of your
problem space disappears if a squid proxy server can solve that portion
of the problem space.
I understand the desire to make the mirror server require even less
configuration on the client. But for my problem, adding the proxy
config required for a non-reverse squid proxy was not a big impact.
