Though my business domain is very different from the point
of discussion, I have been conducting a lot of research
on caching methods and not affecting our customers
concerns regarding dynamic content, usually pages with ad
placements. I would be happy to exchange our knowledge
though mine is very theoretical and many of our customers
are willing to waste their resources over few extra bytes
per page and few extra MB of transfer per month.
