Description
I am using a dreamhost VPS. And i is possible to activate Xcache support.
Will it works out of the box with drupal or do I need to activate the cache rooter module ?
I am a bit confused because I don't know if the cacherouter module is for complex server installation or if it is needed even with a VPS ?

I'd like to reinforce the question. Reading through many issues here did not clear my mind.
We use APC as opcode cache, and it keeps caching and serving Drupal files no matter Cache router is active, not active, not present.
My understanding is that when APC is active, or any other caching mechanism, Apache (not Drupal) checks it before letting any request go through to PHP.
So I do not fully understand why people and developers talk of this module as something to enable that kind of caching in Drupal. Opcode cache is active the moment you add it to Apache. You do not need further efforts into Drupal. Am I wrong?
Maybe Cache router is aimed at sophisticated setups, where you need different caching techniques for different tables/paths/files?
Anything that can speed up a site is interesting, just trying to understand this module's contribution.
