Obviously there will be a need to set up some sort of mechanism to allow
the use of a common cache, but imho it would not be terribly difficult.
Other possibilities are to set the cache as a sibling as others have mentioned.
The problem here is that the browsers in the client machines will need to be
set up appropriately. Whether the machines' owners are able to do this, I know not.
