I admin a webserver that provides mirrors for a number of open source projects and I frequently see high loads on the server as all files in a directory are stated on each listing. I would like to have a caching system for this so that if the mtime of the directory is not newer than the cached index, the cached index is displayed. This saves both cpu time and speeds up the response to the user request.
Assuming httpd v2.0+, mod_cache should be able to help with this, either the mem cache or the disk cache.
mod_cache can cache any webserver content no matter how generated (proxy, CGI, autoindex, whatever).
