The problem is I don't know to cache for how long. Maybe 1 month, or maybe one second, consider a blog post, it will be only updated when a user leave a comment, but the exact time is unpredictable. Currently I am using PHP / Smarty cache, if a user leave a comment, I will remove cache from the file system and the cache will be re-generated next time if cache miss. The only draw back is since for a cached case, I am sending HTML via PHP, so why I don't send the cache via Apache? The lighttpd Cache Meta Language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_Meta_Language) is what exactly doing what I want, but I am just wondering if Apache users have think of this before? ) On the other hand, mod_cache seems can't do what I want. Squid did (wikipedia is using similar approach with "purge' multicast). Of coz setting a squid is another overhead for my simple use.
