On another point, it's worth noting that, _currently_, all the "good" servers are somewhere else... but this won't be the case forever.
Especially not if you define "good" servers as those most frequently accessed because you can set up a Squid cache at the local exchange point and if every ISP connected to the local exchange point runs a cache using yours as a parent then the "good" servers miraculously become local servers. The Australians have considerable experience at doing just that including preloading their parent caches, using cheaper one-way satellite bandwidth to load the caches (skycache.com anyone?) and setting up a national backbone between exchange points so that the exchange point caches can all have sibling relationships over a controlled network infrastructure. The folks at http://www.auix.net/ can tell you more, and if you would sign up for the NANOG meeting in Dearborn you could talk to Andrew Khoo andrew () aussie net and find out more. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: michael () memra com http://www.memra.com - *check out the new name & new website*
