Does apache cache images by default? or do i need to set a
directive.

as in, a page has 20 images. user clicks reload, disk is
accessed again to server the page and images...
how to avoid this disk IO?

or do i have it totally wrong here; the caching is the OS's
responsibility? If so, does AIX do this?

using:
Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/1.3.3.3 Apache/1.3.4-dev (Unix)
Server built: Aug 11 1999 10:19:07
on AIX 4.3.3

THx!

By default, apache does very little caching, and pretty much only on a
per connect basis. To increase caching, you can either install squid, a
high end open source caching proxy, or you can configure apache to proxy
itself, with caching turned on.

Take a look at the mod_proxy module for more info on that.
