Was playing with memcached and mod_cache when I had some thoughts.

I would say that mod_cache would need to be split into mod_cache
(general protocol agnostic cache as you described) and mod_cache_http
(HTTP cache), I suspect the existing mod_cache code has hooks for both
that would need to be separated out from one another.
Should this be a SoC project or normal httpd-dev project? Is there any
interest in this? I can help either way. This would make each
individual modules much easier to maintain while giving us greater
flexibility (mod_cache_dbd, mod_cache_shm, mod_ftp_cache, mod_ssl
session cache, mod_ip_tracker...)
I would add the "feature request" that we can stack the caches. IE,
check disk, then memcache.
