This is exactly the setup that we wanted to have here at Transarc.
We ended up with an enhanced version of the browser (Mosaic) which
incorporates the translation functionality. So, only one type of URL
is being advertised and the browser is smart enough to find the
document in AFS.
For more details about the setup and the translation facility check
out the paper "Using Wide-Area File Systems Within the World-Wide Web"
by M. Spasojevic, M. Bowman and A. Spector.
