In Sun's Network Programming Guide, on page 9, it says: "The flexibility of NFS allows configuration for a variety of cost and performance trade-offs. ... In the case of read-only files, copies can be kept on several servers to avoid bottlenecks." However, I've spent hours reading the table of contents & the totally inadequate index & the manual can't find where it tells how to do this. Ditto results for an examination of the System & Network Admin Manual. Is the quoted material a bunch of lying hype? Or can someone point out the part of the manuals where I can read up on this & implement it? And if this ability is real, do very many other vendors have it, such as DEC's Ultrix?
