Can't say I've ever seen that either. Heck, if Alteon the pharmaceutical company got a little over a million from Alteon WebSystems for joint rights to the url, they exceeded their last year's revenues!!! ---- >>Assuming that they had 100 data centers, then we're talking about inundating the 'net with 50 Mbits * 100 sites, or 5 Gbits of traffic I suppose it could be multicast, but probably not. In the scenario you outlined, what if it were something with huge pull-demand. Say it was a Bill, Monica, and Pamela-Sue Video and 5 million people wanted it the instant it was released. In that scenario, the bandwidth used to perform the replication (and no I don't mean Bill's bandwidth<gg>) is far less that the backbone bandwidth that the demand for the video would have caused if there were just one server. I guess it wouldn't have to be anything close to 5 million "pullers" for the numbers to still work out in favor of the distributed replication, or am I missing something? dh
