Hello everyone.

Still working with Cherokee in our environment. Until Cherokee has
reverse proxy supporting the caching of files, our Cherokee use is
less functional than we would like.

As such, was thinking about doing the following to utilize the IOCache
of Cherokee:

1. Map a network share from Ubuntu (via Samba) to Windows server which
runs our website.
2. Create a new website profile in Cherokee to handle the images.website.com
3. Enable IOCache for the JPG, GIF and PNG files.

Is anyone doing this or similar thing with Cherokee currently?  We are
running a Gbit link between the Cherokee box and the webserver, so I
expect things to be somewhat slower than in the same machine, but once
cached by Cherokee, it should fly. Basically want to get the load off
of Windows, use the speed and ever increasing features of Cherokee to
serve such and utilize caching of Cherokee so we aren't obliterating
the drives all day getting the same files from disk over and over.

Is this a an alright idea? Anyone doing anything remotely similar?

Thanks!
-Paul
