Joshua, There is? I did not know mod_cache would clear out content based on a higher level URL.
Example: Assume mod_cache is caching the following dynamic content: http://acme.edu/calendar/123/abc http://acme.edu/calendar/123/def http://acme.edu/calendar/123/ghi http://acme.edu/calendar/123/jkl http://acme.edu/calendar/124/mno http://acme.edu/calendar/124/pqr Ideally I would like to tell mod_cache to clear out all of calendar 123's content but not content found under calendar 124. My understanding is that I would have to know all of the actually dynamic content URLs that have been cached for calendar 123. I would then send a header request that contained the appropriate attributes necessary to request the refresh of the content for calendar 123. Am I wrong in my understanding? Does mod_cache remove content found under a particular URL request. Example: If I sent a header request to the following URL that had the necessary "clear cache" attributes: http://acme.edu/calendar/123/ Would mod_cache remove all of the cached content listed above for calendar 123 but continue to cache the content for 124? Or would I have to send a request to each URL listed above with the appropriate header attributes in order to clear calendar 123's content?

Inventing a new technique, new configuration directive, and new URL space is simpler than using an existing, standardized technique? I don't really buy that.
