Yeah, I'd be really curious to see that code :)
I will throw together what I have for my proposal so far and put that
on the mailing list soon, but the title we've been throwing around is
Flexible Cachegroups a.k.a BYOT (bring your own topology). The basic
idea is that you can form mostly-arbitrary groups of servers ("mostly"
because maybe it doesn't make sense to mix traditional "mids" with
"edges") called Service Groups and compose them into different
Topologies by describing the tiers/parent hierarchies of a set of
Service Groups. Then you assign a Delivery Service to a Topology
rather than using the traditional DS-Server assignments we have today.
