But before I do that I need to know if it supports a couple of things because if it doesn't then there is no point me testing. And yes some of these things are annoying and silly but out of my control.

ATS 2.1+ can cache files up to the size of a partition (a disk/raid device) up to .5PB (500TB).

You can cache range requests by setting:
proxy.cache.http.cache.range.lookup to 1.

Range requests are cached separately from whole documents currently,
so the range request must match to be found in the cache.
