What you dont realize that that the majority of the traffic with p2p is *not* 
the downloads themselves but instead is the 100s of clients/servers 
contacting each other and exchanging directory information. The "chatter" is constant 
and unrelenting. Caching p2p content is problematic in more ways than one. A 
few movies will fill your cache. You'd have to either 1) discover which ports 
are in use as they are variable and random or 2) "assume" that every port 
*might* have content. 

In reality you'd be better off just running your own supernode on your 
network and have your customers/users connect to you. That effecitvely, is your 
"cache". Of course you'll likely get sued, but its a better concept than a p2p 
cache.
