Hi all folks!

=20

Its my first message to the mailing list, so excuse me if Im posting on
wrong place. I have worked with Apache since 4 years ago, almost always =
with
version 2.X. So I have a little experience with this great web Server.

=20

Lately, Im introducing NAS tecnologies with free software like Openfiler =
to
reduce the load of local hard drives. My last experiment is:

=20

One NAS running on IP A

One VPS (Centos 5.3 under Virtuozzo Linux) with Apache running on IP B

=20

VPS has a mapped folder to NAS (IP B) and Apache is configure to work =
with
this mapped folder called /data. The performance is good until now but I
have a very big doubt about mod_deflate and mod_expires. Maybe Im =
totally
wrong about that and I apologize, but I think that, mod_deflate and
mod_expire don=92t running when data is not =93local=94. I do some Basic =
test:

=20

- one .htaccess on DocumentRoot with rules about deflate and
expires

- directly on Virtual host configuration

=20

No one with success. When I run Yslow Firefox Plugin, it don=92t detects
compression or expire. So the only difference with this experiment
(NAS+Apache) and the other host of my net (Apache+Local Drives) is NAS.
Maybe is NAS the cause of my problem? Or is not related?

Thanks to all!
