Thanks Padraig, but is there any other way than using "squid". Like calling API's in glance or calling nova-compute API's or add something in glance code which triggers copy of vmdk to all compute nodes after image is uploaded.

CERN did some work on that: http://coarasa.dyndns.org/?p=162<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://coarasa.dyndns.org/?p%3D162&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=eH0pxTUZo8NPZyF6hgoMQu%2BfDtysg45MkPhCZFxPEq8%3D%0A&m=uk5UeNLCDtH4%2Bx1kXlhPNZ8GLyRTbsDUSKlzpqsezDY%3D%0A&s=b76ce857ca16d18b390c9fd45d1f6282dbf0a49dfbc79bfdea724b1f94837e09>
