Actually, a file position doesn't work either, because the storage
server can't know that much about what it is serving.
I suspect the only sane approach is to make the storage server
maintain the iterator returned by the underlying storage on behalf of
the client. This will cause resources to be allocated on the server
that might only be freed when the client disconnects.
