Mod_cache can cache images, but MapServer MapCache can respond to wms requests, kml super overlay requests, wmts, gmap tile requests, bing map tile requests, rebuild WMS images from tiles on the fly, etc. Its incredibly powerful, easy to setup and configure and its fast. The seeding utility is also very nice, allowing seeding inside an area from any OGR dataset, multi threaded seeding, and an algorithm designed to be as high performance as possible (it drills down in an area as it seeds to maximize the caching of data in an area).
