It appears that the designers of BOINC made an assumption that every system
that's processing BOINC data has an internet connection that provides access
to the BOINC servers.  This assumption is flat out _incorrect_ and will
result in a lot of lost processing capability.

Hello,

at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/boinc_transition_plan.html I can
see that boinc will include the caching function. However I've a
problem with my actual configuration:

1) PC n.1 at home with SetiGate and an internet connection.
2) PC n.2 at office with SetiGate and NO internet connection, plus
many other PCs and workstations at office that point to PC n.2 as
off-line proxy.

I move WU from PC n.1 to PC n.2 with SetiGate export/import function,
the same to move results from 2 to 1, via cd-rw or pen-drive.

I've read the transition plan and I'm afraid that BOINC will haven't
this possibility.
Do anyone know a way to continue this off-line WU/res transport with
BOINC, or if will be a version of SetiGate for BOINC ?

Regards,
Alessandro
