It needs to have two modes:

- The lazy update goes through the system that exports the mount

- The lazy update goes from the client of the site, to the source of
  the intermediate sites export. This takes the intermediate site out
  of the transfer protocol.

The first should be default, the second for those sites that want to act
as diretories but don't have the resources (or need/want) to handle the
raw data streams.
