    passing the URI over the satellite broadband link to a gateway that is located remotely to the modem should the first-listed checking step not locate the content object in the first cache;

    checking a second cache in the gateway for the content object, wherein an exact match of the URI to cached content objects is not required for a second cache hit from the second cache; and
