I'd like to be able to configure the following scheme: Assume there is a community with a LAN backbone. Individual members are nto allowed to give others access to the internet via their own private Internet connections but freely share LAN access.
A member accesses the web via a local proxy that first consults a central server cluster for pages. If the page is present, it is returned to the member's browser. If the page is not present, the local proxy attempts to aquire the page via the member's private connection. The proxy then serves the page to the user's browser and also deposits a copy with the central community server. All this happens using cross-platform software. Now, is there anything vaguely like this anywhere? Vik :v)
