so, funny you ask, last week i ran into this problem and i tried using both mod_mem_cache and mod_disk_cache. i set noderes.nfsserver to separate apache servers configured to reverse proxy and cache (alternately i could have changed the kickstart templates to use a different table entry and change that). for some reason mod_mem_cache was not behaving as expected where mod_disk_cache was, so i made a tmpfs and configured its mountpoint to be the directory for the disk cache. i also told it to ignore /install/autoinst since the caching settings were really aggressive. i did a recursive wget to warm the cache and saw the tmpfs fill up. then i did a bunch of kickstart installs. before this the apache server on xcat was a bottleneck during kickstart installs, and afterwards it wasn't.

Seems that the local disks of a xCAT node becomes a bottleneck if many clients boot same stateless image It is not mainly the setup and configuration I look for. More the experience if such an excercise is useful or not Cheers!
