More like squid on steriods - the idea is google has a cache of most web based content *and* they've been building servers in all sorts of locations. This together with the weird way they can redirect you to the "closest" server AND they presumably have loads of bandwidth makes them a theoretically good cache. I *think* that in addition it maintains a local cache on your machine of sites you visit, but I'm not sure about that. Has its pluses, but some think it should be redesigned. http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/05/google_web_acce_1.html -- patrick _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/
