I don't believe mod_cache/mod_disk_cache is experimental in 2.2.2.  It
is in earlier versions, but I've already recommended you stay away
from those.


How would an approach like this compare to a product such as Squid (in
terms of use).  Obviously Squid is very much more specialized and
requires resources to scale properly.

I haven't used squid's caching, so I can't compare.  But a big
advantage of mod_cache is that it can be used on the origin server
itself -- no need to put a proxy in front.  This should reduce the
load and complexity signficantly.  (It can also be used on a proxy, if
you want a multi-tiered architecture.)

mod_disk_cache should give you speeds that are better than apache
httpd's static file access speeds.  In other words, it will be WAY
faster than anything that requires database access.

Joshua.

Are there some docs on mod_disk_cache - examples of implementation, etc. (beyond the description on the website).

Thanks.
