I am setting up a server to purely serve jpeg images in the region of 20k
average filesize.  Any pointers on settings that will help keep things
running smoothly and performing as well as possible?  The images change very
rarely - can I do anything with the headers to make sure the clients always
pickup cached copies?

Many Thanks

Pretty basic. Your images are small. I don't see a problem with it.

Defra, use a fast array, all the basic speed improvements for the
storage subsystem.  But no changes in IIS needed.

You shouldn't normally run into any issues, but that really depends on
how you're serving the pages.  Static HTML should be no problem with
caching.

Of course, it depends on the client and any proxies in between as
well.
