I think that's not a good idea. Who should develop documents with such
mulitiple links. Should all documents have multiple (dummy) links
- even if they do not exist ?
Instead this functionality should be realized externaly.
For example as a special (proxy) cache server which has a rule list
for local replacements of URL's. This server could also be usefull
for WWW-Clients.
