Joshua, I believe I found the error of my ways about an hour after this post.
I miss-read the documentation in regards to the CacheEnable setting. I initially read this as to the physical location on the file system that contains the items I want cached. I was wondering why the example had "CacheEnable mem /". I then re-read the document and realized it said "URI". I then changed the config to use the URI that the incoming requests would hit and upon restarting the apache server (with disk cache so I could easily verify it) noticed directory entries in the CacheRoot folder for disk cache. Is there anything out there that will help me verify cache hits and misses? Thanks p.s. I will look into apache 2.1.x after we get through this holiday season.
