Tomas,

I appreciate the feedback, pretty much in line with what I wanted to know.
Effort and time, not much. The idea in my mind was basically something like
1. or 2.

Proxying would be great, I am sure I can service a fair amount of fetches
with 200-400 GB.
Rendering own tiles, also a possibility.

I will start some basic reading on those two and see what is needed. My
fair nix admin background and dev should prove helpful here, hopefully.
At this point, I am still a bit in the dark, will read some...

Thanks again.
M
