Subject: Re: [users@httpd] mod_mem_cache & mod_disk_cache Issues

Joshua,

Thank you for the reply. I'll dig deeper into the list for the
disk_cache not storing files for the specified time.

I was under the impression that mem_cache would be faster. I had
planned on storing files that are accessed many times from a couple of
directories, ie, /xml/ or /images/ in memory so they'd just sit there
happily. Then for the dynamic parts of the site disk_cache could store
those requests.

I'll stick with just disk_cache for now.

-Paul
