Lightbulb Gnutella idea? Anyone know if this has been done?

I was thinking about this for a couple of days now...

I have two computers,in different geographic locations. One with has high-speed net access (let's call it FASTCOMP) and the other just has a dial-up (call it SLOWCOMP). I really do not need to download files to my SLOWCOMP, because most of my good stuff (cd-burners, large storage, etc) is on the FASTCOMP.

Now, I was thinking of having a gnutella client/server that connects to the gnutella network, but controlled remotely from another connection. For example, FASTCOMP will have the gnutella network connection, download files that I request remotely from SLOWCOMP onto a storage area on FASTCOMP. Therefore, SLOWCOMP will be passing query request to FASTCOMP, then in turn, query the network. The results from the query will return to FASTCOMP, where it relay it to SLOWCOMP. The uploads/downloads will be handled by FASTCOMP.

This was just a solution I was thinking about that addressed my desire to not download / upload anything from a slow link, but from a remote fast link.

Anyone know if this has been done???
