A method and apparatus for content precaching is described. In one embodiment,
the method comprises periodically checking servers in a networked environment for
new content based on a profile, storing content identified as new on the servers
in a cache accessible by an network access gateway, the network access gateway
thereafter detecting whether a request is for at least a portion of the identified
new content previously stored in the cache, and returning the at least a portion
of the identified new content from the cache.
