Of course. It's vastly more versatile than squid, and sometimes that's
what you need. In particular it's commonly used in combination with
mod_rewrite and mod_perl to make a lightweight front end server which
handles all the image requests so the hulking mod_perl processes don't sit
around waiting to serving images to slow modem users.
Apache with mod_perl works pretty well as a highly configurable spooler,
along side serving simple requests, but its pretty poor as a caching
proxy for web surfing. For that you use squid.
