Out of curiosity, has anyone experimented with configuring cacheing within apache itself?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_cache.html
It is my understanding that squid takes advantage the same pragma headers that mod cache can look at - I wonder if there is an intermediate configuration that can be tuned and recommended without having to install a separate proxy server.
Last time I looked at mod_proxy it did not understand the PURGE request type. MediaWiki needs this to tell the proxy to purge its cache. I don't know if this applies to mod_cache or if there's a different way to do it - I wasn't interested in caching at the time so I didn't look closely.
