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.
