the problem comes in the fact that as far as venti is concerned, there
is no filesystem.  the heirarchy bits are done in libventi, so

protecting your root notes boils down to a matter of protecting
your root scores, since we assume that 2^80 is big enough to
deter guessing.  i don't see how a proxy will add security.
could you explain what attack vector you're worried about?

i would think that the least secure part of this is the unencrypted
transmission.
