Hi,

I've just posted a version 0 draft of a proposal for a minimal protocol
extension to allow sharing of cached read-only data among NFS clients.
The proposal intends to add a back-end protocol (a.k.a. 'control
protocol') to allow certain trusted NFS clients to register as file
layout type data servers, and to allow them to communicate with a
metadata server in order to manage layouts.

Please see

Cheers
  Trond
