Wikipedia uses Squids (in USA, Korea, and the Netherlands) for
readers who are not logged in. But users having the login cookie
set, always drink fresh water directly from the live PHP servers.
Could OSM do something similar? I.e. serve non-logged in users
from a week-old cache, but allow logged in users to access more
fresh data? And would it make any difference for us? Does OSM
have lots of non-logged in users? Do we know the proportions?
