I'v suggested something like this before but I'll try agine....
I'v got this idea from a web host prety much how the web host operates is there is a main server wich is in the usa michigan I belive then there are several other servers 1 in australia, hawaii, mexico, there are some located in the uk some where all with t1 connections. so oviously nm couldn't run its own servers all over the world with t1 connections but the same idea can be applyed over the same network it would give people with 56k connection a better response time basicly all the servers are mirrors of the main server and just relay information.

That is exactly how 56k works so it won't make a difference.

cause it doesn't relay to a central server, similar to the dns system, you request a domain name, say www.nightmist.co.uk and your pc asks your isp's (usually) dns server for the ip address, if and only if your isp doesn't know the ip, it asks the root server for it and then caches it for a pre-determined time.
so when you request a webpage, it comes from a local cache (most isps run transparent caches to save them on bandwidth) rather than the original server.

yes, as a cache, since the data rarely changes, a dynamic game like nightmist has realtime data, therefore can't be cached.
