Not quite sure what you expect from a 'cache server'. Static web content (images, stylesheets etc.) should be cached in the browser (though could also be cached in a proxy server if you wanted), and there's not a practical way to cache dynamic content.

If latency is a performance issue, and you have a lot of money to spend, then you could look at web acceleration (e.g. http://www.akamai.com/ ), which I'm currently evaluating for a worldwide CRM implementation, and looks to provide noticeable benefits in some circumstances

Hi Tiaan,

In addition to the items listed below, you could use a device such as an BigIP F5 and similar devices for consolidate connections, offload SSL, and static content caching.

Hi Tiaan,
Dynamics CRM not have a huge number of heavy static data so don't think that you will have any problem. I was involved in the big implementation of Dynamics CRM where clients were on the few continents and everything was working fine. If you have any problems you can change time how long cache files will be keeping on client machine so it not have download it every time.

You can use also a HTTP web debugger ( http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ ) to find where you have any delays.
