Sure, if the proxies actually do the rigth thing (which they may or may not do)
For a high-traffic setup like kernel.org, you can setup a local reverse proxy -- it's a pretty standard practice. That allows you to control a well-behaved and locally tuned caching engine just by emitting good headers. It beats writing and maintaining an internal caching mechanism for each CGI script out there by a long mile. It means there'll be no further tunables or complexity for administrators of other gitweb installs. cheers, martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
