The optimal cache size is easy: As much as you can provide without  
impacting other services on the machine. On the other hand even a too  
small cache whith Unbound have to purge results not expired yet,  
doesn't harm too much beside in corner cases.

Not sure what you mean with "physically located". The cache is  
obviously in the machine RAM, but if you ask for the network location  
of the machine you should always get a close to your border router as  
possible.
