I'm not aware of that, and I even more seriously doubt it. Because 
caching is a complicated, domain-dependend subject that would 
*immediately* cry for configuration - e.g. caching strategies and such.

And a common idiom for apache & caching is to use Squid as reverse 
proxy. Which wouldn't be the case would apache cache by itself.
