The Internet Research Task Force research group on Resource Discovery is
developing a generic object caching mechanism similar to what you
describe.  If you're interested in the measurement/trace-based
simulation results, see the most recent SIGCOMM conference proceedings
(or, ftp.cs.colorado.edu:pub/cs/techreports/schwartz/PostScript/FTP.Caching).

Some of our current plans / vision for this plus other prototyping
effortgs are laid out in
