Definitely! I remember the original patches tried to create some nice abstractions so that more logic would move into mod_cache propery than in mod_*_cache, but there turned out to be so many corner cases within mod_disk_cache itself - and noone seems to /use/ mod_mem_cache - that that fell by the wayside :/ -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
