It can be done, but it won't be simple. What kind of external processing do you want? One option is mod_ext_filter, which can be inserted in the filter chain between the proxy and the client. If I were you, I would work on getting this going, and only after I was sure it worked, would I try to add mod_cache+mod_disk_cache to do the caching part. Joshua.
