Hi Dan (or anyone else who can make this clear to me),

I have a question concerning caching, especially for gadgets with high
volumes of users. Ok the situation: I have a feed I want to cache for
a minute or shorter (highly variable data) for a gadget. The main
purpose of this caching is to "bundle" a lot of users to 1 request to
my own server. This way the bulk of the request should go to google's
caching server. The reason for this is that the google server capacity
is much larger than my own server.

My question is what happens with a request when the cache expired and
another request to my server is already made, but not returned yet.
Will my server get another request or will the request wait for the
cache to update? It seems quite trivial, but in case of high volumes
and short caching I think it will be important for my server load.

Thanks to anyone with suggestions on this topic.

Kind regards,
Rik Fieten
