asp.net caching : Dynamic image caching

I have an application with 10000+ images. Those images are manipulated
in .net and stored in 6 different sizes plus the original image.

As I want to get rid of handling all the many sizes of the images, I
was thinking if I could create all the images dyn=EDcally by calling a
webpage returning the image in the right size. This is working fine,
but I am a little worried about the load on the server. Therefore I
have thought of caching the output images internally in .net. The
server has a heavy workload only 4 hours a day and it is important
that the images are not created too many times within this timespan.

So my question is how large is the output caching size?
Is the cache only stored in the Ram or can it also be stored on the
disk?

Thanks

use the cache-control with different combination of avaliable paramenters
such as pre-check / post-check / etc.,
