Hello Michael!

Well, imho You think like IBM-manager about DCE/DFS do. Are you anyhow
connected to IBM?

Of cause, much sounds quit familliar, as all the mechanism do which deals
with solid data distribution.

Let me answer with questions :

How do you make sure in terms of GFS, that gonzo  (sitting on a obscure
undefined client at the other end of the world) get its data, that *only*
gonzo get it and that no one else can look at it while the data travel
through all kind of suspect networks?

For short:
GFS and AFS deal on the same field ,but they do with different targets
