Stan,
I don't know of a caching server, but I've used lftp
(http://lftp.yar.ru/) instead of rsync to mirror a directory as it does
date/size comparisons over FTP rather than ssh. I prefer to use cron
and rsync, but lftp is easier to setup and works on those servers where
they won't give me ssh access.

Strange request --
Does anyone know of a "caching" TFTP server? I have a series of
remote sites connected via T1's. At these sites I have machines that
need to use a TFTP server to obtain a Linux kernel to boot. Right now
they all load the kernel and modules off a remote server -- and it can
take 5-10 minutes per machine to load. I would like to have a local
TFTP server that will check the master server for updates -- much like
how Squid works as a HTTP cache.
I would like to avoid manually syncing the files between servers --
and just maintain a master server that the local caches could check
(weekly?) for updates. Option #2 (less preferable) is going to be a
dailyweekly rsync between servers and local TFTP servers -- but the
prior would be "cleaner" and less maintenance.
