WMS image cache?

[Nate Reed]

I'm kind of new to MapServer myself, but from what I understand it is 
straightforward to write a "wrapper" CGI script that could process your 
WMS requests before you forward them to MapServer.  Store the WMS requests 
and image url's in a hashtable, with the wms requests as the keys.
