Hi all!

I set up webfs on Eskimo. It only serves /srv/mirror/ and is listening to port 
14987, which is at the moment open. I can have it listen to localhost alone, 
or block 14987 on the firewall, but don't see too much point to it.

Next I set up an Apache ProxyPass directive 
in /etc/apache/vhosts/mirror.iglu.org.il.conf:

<<<<
 Alias / /srv/mirror/
 # This is to make sure that the mirrored files are served using webfs.
 # webfs is a minimalistic web-server that supports large files.
 ProxyPass /pub/ http://localhost:14987/pub/            <-------------
>>>>

Note that I tweaked its default configuration during the apt-get stage, to 
hopefully make it scale more to our loads. But maybe it made things worse.

In any case, it seems to be working. One of the tests ("curl -r 150-200") 
works perfectly through the proxy, and I'm testing the other one. (download 
of a large file).

Comments?
