Well, the idea (perhaps stupid idea: I don't know how caching engines
/ reverse proxy works) was that there would be caching engine / reverse
proxy in the front (Squid for example) would cache results and serve it
to rampaging hordes.

Sure, if the proxies actually do the rigth thing (which they may or may 
not do)

squid seems to work well as an HTTP accelerator (reverse proxy). 
Apache's mem|disk cache stuff fails miserably.

Unfortunately squid development seems to have slowed in recent years.
