I would love to get some time to test Apache 2.1. Unfortunately we already have 
our share of problems with the stability of Apache 2.0. By stability I do not 
mean that the software does not work or crashes, but that there are so many 
changes from one Apache release to another (especially with mod_cache which is 
experimental) that we spend a significant amount of time testing, patching and 
retesting for every internal release we make. 

We are also using third-party modules that currently do not support Apache 2.1.

Do you know whether the 2.1 mod_cache is compatible with Apache 2.0 ?

Don't know about that specific issues, but you should try httpd 2.1 where 
mod_cache has been vastly improved.
