[Linux-cachefs] re-export question

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.

Thanks,

Jim
