I'm feeling semi-confident enough in mod_cache's current status that I've deployed a current httpd-2.1 CVS snapshot to nagoya and enabled mod_cache, mod_disk_cache, and mod_expires for Eyebrowse. I've set a one-hour expiration for all resources under /eyebrowse. (Eyebrowse is behind a ProxyPass to a standalone Tomcat instance, so this also tests the new proxy code.)

To my knowledge, this is the first time we've eaten our own cache food. Needless to say, the ViewLists page (<http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/>) returns *really* fast now. ;-) Without the cache, it takes roughly 20 seconds to return the resource. With the cache active, it takes less than 1 second. (And, my network's mandatory transparent proxy is now also caching the representations, too: which makes my testing all the more fun.)

If all goes well with this deployment, during ApacheCon in two weeks, I'd like to propose moving mod_cache out of experimental as one of the last steps before starting towards a 2.2 release cycle. -- justin
