I would say that seems like a sensible suggestion. Using a ready-made
system for the caching obviously has major benefits of being
well-established and supported.

Personally I've never used or setup such a service, but there are
several available: nginx[1]; trafficserver[2]; haproxy[3]

[1] https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/nginx
[2] https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/trafficserver
[3] https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/haproxy

I shall drop another version of the patch to the bug report that reverts
the custom caching mechanism.

Regards

Daniel
