caching in general (was Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] caching repository?)

[Tim Wood]

InstantMirror (I suspect) has the advantage that it can be utilized 
anytime you're looking for rpms for livecd-creator, your local machine, 
etc.  And, I suspect, by configuring it right, you can actually use it 
as a repo server for an entire network.

They say they're working on creating a daemon that accepts requests and 
manages downloads, etc., as appropriate.  So, turning the question 
around, maybe something like InstantMirror could become a common 
resource utilized by all of these tools?
