Vorbis - Jan 2002 - caching

I work for a large broadcasting company, which like all companies these days is
looking to decrease it's costs. Ogg would allow us to break away from the
traditional Real Media streams licenses/ upgrade support costs that we have have
to pay, it would also allow our users (we are a public service broadcasting
company BTW.) to have a greater range of applications available to them with
support for the vorbis codecs, than they currently do with Re?lN$et0£ks. Our
biggest problem in moving forward is the fact that any move away from RTSP/MMS
protocols will mean that we can no longer use our Networks Appliance Netcache
for caching both live and on demand content, thus, we will not be able to take
full advantage of cheaper bandwidth available upstream from our ISP's web
farm.

Is there an easy way of similarly caching ogg content. Is anyone working on it?

On demand caching should work fine.  Just make sure apache is serving
them with cachable headers.

I didn't know that Netapps could cache live data?  That seems a bit odd.
