	Hello, I am trying to experiment some file caching on an Ultrix.2.2
	system would somebody answer me these questions?

	1) Does the client do file caching or each time it needs new data
 it has to request it to the server?

	2) If it does, on which file is the code for it and how it deals
with the problem of data consistency ?

	3) Which parts of the code should be modified in order to turn off
the server's buffer-cache (and client's if it exists)?

	4) Which points should be monitored in orther to gather sufficient
data to analyze the performance of the system?.

			 Thanks in advance.
