Instead of multiple points of failure, you now have a central one!

This is an absolute show-stopper for any third-party site.

The only way to avoid this is for the content be copied from your own location
to the remote third-party one, thereby nullifying the rest of the benefits. And
I'm pretty sure Flickr wouldn't want to manually expire their local photo cache
too often, given that they host over two billion photos!

Thanks for the CouchDB plug though! Heh.

Best,
