I doubt so. Even if there was, clients should not trust those responses.

They will use your server for all queries (you don't want that) or they use their isp's server for all queries, and it will not trust your server about cdn.domain.net.edgesuite.net. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
