Interesting figures!
Is it _theoretically_ possible to have an agreement with other _local_
caches to exchange cached data in case of crashes (or even periodically)?
Looks like it could save you a lot of money.
I understand that your neighbors are your competitors, but it is probably
fearly easy to establish a fair trade with them (e.g., to keep a record of
total volume of borrowed/loaned MBs of fresh objects??). It seems to be
quite feasible to support such a "trade" in Squid...
The same trade can be used by "edu" caches as well, I guess.
Just a thought.
Alex.
P.S. Do you pay per peak bandwidth or per byte?
