Has anyone used httpd as a proxy to serve WEB docs to local machines
via AFS instead of http.
What I have in mind but don't know if it can be done is:
I want to publish a URL as http://www.coe.uncc.edu/COE.html
but if the client is here at UNCC then the proxy should return
a file and point the client to the local AFS file system
by telling the client to go find the URL file:/afs/uncc/public/web/COE.html.
However for foreign clients it would of course server the file via http.
Can this trick be pulled using a proxy? It would unload 70% of our
http trafic to the file system - which is more effective.
Thanks
