We are developing a new infrastructure that will serve up images directly from a database. In front of this process, we would like to place a cache of the most frequently accessed images. This would serve to reduce the load on the database image server. The images are small (under 200k). My question is what is the most effective way to do this (without a commercial cache solution like akamai). Some thoughts: some apache proxying tricks, squid, or a lightweight daemon that's dedicated to caching. Along those thought lines are the underlying filesystem, etc. Any pointers would be appreciated, thank you.
Apache's mod_cache + mod_disk_cache was designed for jobs exactly like this. Make sure you use version 2.2.2, since earlier versions had bugs.
