  Do any of you have any experience using coda filesystems?  More 
specifically, can the coda filesystem be used to 'mount' single 
files in an otherwise non-coda directory?

For those of you who do not know what coda is, go visit 
  http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/

quick buzzword intro...
   1.  disconnected operation for mobile computing
   2. is freely available under a liberal license
   3. high performance through client side persistent caching
   4. server replication
   5. security model for authentication, encryption and access control
   6. continued operation during partial network failures in server network
   7. network bandwith adaptation
   8. good scalability
   9. well defined semantics of sharing, even in the presence of network failures

thanks.
