I definately think this is happening and was going to check the logs in 
related to our load warnings.

Not this, we didn't put anything behind a loadbalancer.  There are two 
app servers behind a squid though; I have been doing a lot of squid fine 
tuning for another project and I can take a look at this and see if 
there are any areas I know will immediately improve the cahce performance.

I don't believe much caching happens - it's primarily images and files.

Casey and I were working on a problem recently that requires intensive 
catalog queries to display pages, but often always only needed to 
display the X recent items.  Today is the first day I can monitor the 
performance results of this; but we expect it to be massive.  I would 
expect Zope org could benefit from this type of index also -- it's been 
released as OpenSource.
