I have a Video streaming server, and 3 geographically distant locations. I want to be able to use the caching facility to provide video on demand to all my users. Full or part caching of videos could be done at their locations, so that they would not feel the lag. Another option would be to have the videos synchronised at each of servers at the different locations. The main issue is the users base. I have currently 500 users. My videos are DVD quality and therefore require a 10Mbit/s bandwidth per user per video. Worst case scenario, all users watching the complete set of 50 videos at the same time. How do I go about doing this? Anyone done this before? Or maybe you could point me in the right direction. Thank you all. --=20 ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
