We put this in our cron job to run once a day and it's working great.  

It deletes all files and directories which haven't been modified in 30 days.  We \
didn't use access time "-atime" to determine which files to delete because for \
performance reasons, we disabled atime on the file system.  A disadvantage of this \
method is that it doesn't keep cache size under a certain size (htcacheclean does).  \
It does have the advantage of keeping the cached content fresh, is much faster, and \
seems less resource intensive.  We found that our cache size is pretty stable at \
about 2 to 4 GB (we average 8MM hits/month) so we like this better.

root /usr/bin/find /var/httpd/proxy/* -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -rf {} \;

Remember to change the "/var/httpd/proxy/*" directory to point to wherever your cache \
is.

Happy Web Serving,
