Not sure specifically what you're planning with regard to caching, but note that we already have an arrangement with the MaxCDN content delivery network and we currently use it for www, guide, distfiles and packages. We can also use it for the ports webapp if desired. It would just be a matter of tuning the settings to decide how long the data should be cached.
