The > standard distrib. of it compiled with no rememberable problems. Cached is in the ports collection and there are no problems compiling and installing it. BTW: Cached isn't a WWW server. It can cache either incoming http requests or can be configured to act as proxy cache for your own (outgoing) http requests. I use cached here as proxy cache for outgoing http requests and use my ISP's cached as neighbour cache. As WWW server I use apache. You could speed up apache by running it on a separate machine and running an own cached proxy cache, that speeds up incoming http requests to apache ...
