Re: Webserving pdfs via reverse proxy, QNTC, NFS

In my experience NFS works better than QNTC.  But, I would've expected 
the reverse proxy to be even better yet.

Is there a reason you're using a proxy/nfs/qntc in the first place?  Why 
not just get the document directly from it's source?  Or store the PDF 
docs on the HTTP server?
