World Wide Web Document Caching and Mirroring
One of the main problems we have in the Banks School District is
our relatively slow connection to the Internet. Some documents that
should take seconds take several minutes. We can help to cut down
these transfer times by mirroring certain popular sites in order to cut
down on the amount of requests that have to leave our local network.
Some requests for information will still have to be sent out, but then
those are kept locally so that next time the information is requested,
the response is immediate.
