If you only need to export publicly-readable stuff, and possibly load is not a consideration...you might consider making a webserver be an AFS client, and people can access stuff via the webserver. You would need to do some tuning and scaling for serious use, but it might work for you. It's been done before.

Best of luck!

Subject: [OpenAFS] Exporting AFS from linux without using the translator

Hi, we would like to make AFS available in readonly mode (without
using the afsnfs translator) to systems that are not running the AFS
client.  Some past postings suggested unfs as the way to go.  Is there
a current recommendation of the easiest and most secure way of doing
this? 

Thanks for any feedback,

Renata
