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

Under the information given on the S@H 2/BOINC information release,
there is a heading "What will happen to programmes like SETI Queue?". I
believe SETIGate has similar functionality. I use Queue in the same way
to feed the non-internet facing PCs on my small LAN. This article points
you at a free HTTP Proxy server programme (FreeProxyV3.5). I believe
BOINC is indicating this can act in the same way.
