Funny you should mention that. I stumbled across a link to this page: http://www.drijf.net/dototto/index.html at /. recently. If you follow the links, you will be able to build a WebDAV server on your apache box. My initial experience with WebDAV was when I tried my quick trial .mac account with an OS X box. I was astonished at the transfer rates - sustained at around 500+ kbps across at least two NOCs. I'm currently trying the mock .mac hack that the website is about, but we've been considering using WebDAV for a while here - this may be the first step. So far, my impression is that it's pretty darn nice.
