Ran a well know brand for a couple of years including upgrading the hardware to the next version when the company was bought out and it performed well. Then websites started using more dynamic updates and content included more and more Java resulting in a request having to still go to the website to get the latest page update; and games were affected by the caching server too. Bandwidth about the same time became cheaper so it was an easy decision to quit chasing the little "buggy' things the caching caused and go with more bandwidth. Couple of years have passed and it was a good decision for us.
