=09When you say "both Apache" you want to say "both Apache modules",
I think. I am thinking around the dedicated caching layer, since probably
(in the future) I'll want add "pre-cache", generating subimages when the
user request an image (with sections of the image, for example). (But this
is another tale).

=09And where can I find information about add the "Image Processor"
module, that is, information about put a layer between file and proxy
cache?.

=09What you say at the first of the email (the Image Processor
module) (Excuse my bad English).

=09Thank you very much,
