Any insights into how this would impact the local pipe. IOW, let's say a video goes viral. How would that play out with novia? Does the local host get crippled or does it redirect to the archived source?

Local host is only for long term archive storage, i.e. you download the video you want to keep to your local hard drive.
Hosting is done on blossom servers, i.e. it the same technology that host normal media content on NOSTR. Your local host uploads the content on request.
Currently it works because traffic on NOSTR is low. In the medium term we need micro payments for storage and maybe even for watching.
