[OpenAFS] GSoC Server priorities

Hi!

I've seen the code for server priorities made in a GSoC is in the
private windows test builds.

As it could solve one smaller design problem for us, one question is open=
:
On which base does it rate server "near" and "far"?
AFAIK based on RTT time.
Our setup is expanded with a fileserver with only RO on a different
subnet some miles away, attached to us via a static VPN.
In one of our private subnets we drive our CAVE and this subnet is not
routed accross the VPN - if we put the CAVE ROs on the fileserver on the
far away fileserver, the clients does not reach them.
For now, the ROs are not there (kinda bad in kind of backup reasons).
Could this new feature solve this (in a bad way, I know) with just rate
the "bad" fileserver horrible bad?

MfG,
Lars Schimmer
