Can you say if this would be bundled with your distribution or available
as an add-on?  And what time frame we may be looking at?

would be nice to (client side caching for one.)  Too bad about there not
being a server though.

Yeah, we've thought of this.  But I personally don't find it satisfactory
if there is replication software (possibly) on the horizon.

Thanks,
