Cacheing and performce

[Lyndon Tiu]

Hello,

I just realized that if running mapserver on a machine and
postgis/oraclespatial (whatever spatial db you may have) on another
different machine, performance can be bad due to heavy network traffic.

I notice that every map request I make, mapserver queries the db and the
data (all of it) has to go through the network again and again.

Any thought on this matter? Is there a cacheing machanism I can make use
of to minimize network traffic.

Thanks.
