Adrian - you are right, about re-inventing the wheel. What I was thinking exactly. I didn't think about RFC2616
Currently, the apache mod_jk with AJP is in use - maybe I should have mentioned this. Maybe this is what you mean by a cache module. In any case, I have yet to dig into mod_mem_cache and mod_disk_cache to see it they have provisions for deleting a specific stored object/web page.
