Hi,
Is it a pipe dream to hope for the following configuration someday?
primary secondary
NFS server --- NFS server --- clients
cachefs
In words, to allow a file system to be exported to an NFS+cachefs client,
and then re-exported to other clients?
It would be a nice way to alleviate performance bottlenecks when a
mostly read-only central server is mounted on a lot of clients.
This sounds like Matt Blaze's thesis topic, found at:

Except that it does not export a cache from cachefs.
