I don't quite know if this is apropos of N.G.Smith's message, but:
The best place for the high capacity caches for documents is in the
middle of the service provider's high-bandwidth backbone, and not at
any particular site's node.
This would save more bandwidth than having them at the periphery of
the network. The only question would be what might incent network
service providers to attach such a service?
