Re: Netskrt - ISP-colo CDN

Agreed ... it generally doesn't make sense to install caches where the 
content is just a few racks over.

But if you have a network that serves smaller population centers where 
CDNs are sparse or non-existent, then it gets the content closer to the 
eyeballs and saves considerably on transport bandwidth back to 
"civilization."
