Looks like apache and squid are only the only ones that can do this
well without resorting to paying out for commercial software or

Fortunately Apache as caching reverse proxy documentation is both
plentify and encouraging - looks like it will do the right thing, and
fortunately we already have sensible caching headers to work with.
