Hi Giles,
We use Netscaler to accelerate ACS, albeit only static content as Erik
mentioned. It is only really beneficial with multiple ACS Management Servers
(and ours are 1 hop away @ 2Gbps). And to re-iterate what Erik said, the
browser will cache most of the content.
Kind Regards,

Subject: Re: cloudstack UI through accelerator/cache/proxy
The only thing you could cache as far as I can see is static content (js, css,
pictures) and list calls.
Anything that triggers an action has to reach the mgmt server and cannot be
cached.
When caching list calls you have to either have a really short lifespan, or a
proper method of invalidating the content on changes.
As for caching static content I am not sure if it really is worth it, it is
only loaded on the first page load, and with recent ACS versions it should be
cached by your browser as well.
I guess that theoretically you could build a custom version of the client-web
that reference static content from another server (
static.customer.com) and ensure through DNS that users use a mirror close by.
