But the only data that gets updated daily (or whateverly) is of trivial size;
it's a redirect to a CHK or a very small document. If the content itself
doesn't change, the cacheing effect will still work on the actual content.
If the content itself does change, there's nothing we can do about it, you
just have to fetch a new copy.
