BTW: I did not mean to imply that the machines were directly connected to the FDDI/ethernet switched fabric. I really wasn't looking at their backs; I tend to get somewhat distraced by lots of Criscos when at major XPs. Avi

Netscape's web servers? Interesting, does Netscape now host their gigahit-per-day web servers outside the West Coast (in-house or at ISI.NET?) I was wondering if Netscape now "redirects" web browsers to their "nearest" server? This would be cool if it would set a precedent; hopefully they and other high-volume providers would set up mirrors *outside* the US so that folks wouldn't spend their bandwidth pulling their (uncacheable) pages in.
If Netscape is indeed doing this, do HTTP traffic analysis and the business case show that selecting different locations for web servers is "worth it"?
