Michael,

I am creating a 'just works' and 'easy to implement' solution which will 
even work well on shared hosting environments. A lot of people that have 
access to a TYPO3 hosting environment with mod_rewrite and mod_expires 
will benefit greatly from a staticfilecache extension.

This target group does not have the time / resources to set up a 
dedicated proxy for their small to medium sized sites.

So the drawback of the proxy system solution is that is is 
time/knowledge/resource/cost intensive.

A staticfilecache extension serves as "a poor man's proxy".

But sure, if you are a large company and the extra server/service does 
not hurt you or your IT staff. Go the dedicated proxy way. I totally 
agree with you.

Kind regards,
