Yup. Well, right now, I haven't got a bottleneck :-) But since I do 
think behind an ordinary cable provider, and there are many more 
readers than posters, a reverse proxy service on a real line could 
serve most of the content from cache if I sent the proper headers, and 
could be set up easily without me having root access, as opposed to my 
server, where I want full control.

Oh, what I meant was that I used last-modified and if-modified-since in 
the infrastructure, and suddenly decided that part of the 
infrastructure was not needed or could be done better elsewhere, the 
headers could be used directly without any modifications.

Perhaps! :-)
