Afaik GeoWebCache has the ability to do this with its WMS. See

Ian, cced, I believe started some work to make it so the embedded GWC could
do the same tile recombination to a WMS call with one or two vendor
parameters. I'm not sure if we got it all the way back in to the core, as
the project we built it for I believe has not deployed it yet.
Note this strategy should work well for raster data, but for vector you
will likely get some fuzziness for requests between zooms.
In general getting the fastest results depends on how you prepare your
data. If you're using raster data than inner tiling and overview on
geotiffs can get you to very fast speeds. See
