Re: OT: Internet Web Caching Solution

F5 Networks has a product that will do this, but it's only local to your
datacenters. Are you looking for web-caching of inbound traffic to a
corporate intranet or caching of web services offered to the internet at
large? If you're doing the latter akamai has a managed services that
offers distributed caching and geographical load-balancing. It's pretty
well implemented. I know cisco and google use at least the global
load-balancing services. I kind of have an interest in content
networking. I've been using it to prove my worth until I pass the lab.
Feel free to contact me off list if you want more info.

Thanks,

Keegan

WAN optimization is wider range of thecnology then you might think, web
proxy is one of the component that allow optimization, and yes Expand
Networks Accelerator support web/ftp caching (transparent and non
transparent)

we have both phisical (sevral hardware platform levels) and virtual
(appliacne over vmware esx/esxi or vmserver)
