In most use cases of AFS, the cluster nodes would not see AFS any more
than any other part of the public Internet.  Even if they did, the
initial load of something onto a particular client machine is not going
to be affected by AFS caching facilities anyway.  As an AFS admin, I
don't think AFS has anything to offer to the solution of this particular
problem.
