Hm.  My thinking was that reverse-proxy was to primarily reduce load on the DB.
Not so much for image/page cacheing.  I have no problem going live without it, but
I think we may find ourselves needing to impliment it as we grow.  That DB is going
to be pounded more than anyone realizes I think.

Of course - we are sitting MUCH prettier than any other site out there (Slashdot,
Freshmeat, etc) that I know of in the fact that we have the luxary of devoting a
beefy server to handling nothing but DB requests.  Perhaps we won't need
reverse-proxy... *shrug*
