I want to know if this is practical and affordable:
On my very small home LAN, which mainly serves to allow household members to share a 56k (ouch!) connection via NAT32 on a machine which is a dedicated internet gateway (no monitor, remotely administered from my desktop), can I set up software to cache frequently visited sites, refreshed on perhaps varying schedules. I am trying to reduce frustration and load times, and I have noticed that family members have particular browsing habits, and many of their visited sites can be predicted, could be fetched earlier in the day and stored. If the Temporary Internet Files Options in IE5 were any good I'd be able to get some help by setting them large caches, and using a synchronization schedule, but as far as I can tell, playing with these features doesn't help. Besides, I'd like to have the gateway machine in the cellar do all the work, and store the files.
Is possible, no?
