Good to know about that trunk feature. I'll have to remember that when it gets around to stable.
The vary thing i might try. I'll have to weigh cost versus functionality.

Trunk has a feature called "CacheQuickHandler" that stops the cache from short-circuiting all the local processing, but not available in 2.2.x. The other option you have is to add a Vary header for user-agent, but that makes you store a ton of different copies in your cache due to the variety in user-agents. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com
