Yes, I want local caching but also transparent writes. If I'm in the UK 
I want to write FileServerInTheUk (ans that goes auto to 
FileServerInTheUS which holds the storage) and if I'm in the US, I want 
to write to US server.
Is this case handled by AFS?
The last case is that I need to mount the partition with NFS *and* Samba 
(we are a mixed Windows/UNIX shop) on Linux and Windows hosts (access 
through AFS only is out of the question...) so I'm not sure that AFS 
will do it... Or am I wrong?
Thanks.
