No. The idea here is that the agent will hold a local cached copy of the table data, which it can use to handle incoming requests (rather than reloading the data afresh every time). This cache has a "timeout" associated with it. If a request arrives and the cache is too old (i.e. the age is greater than the timeout), then the 'container_load' routine will be called again to re-read an up-to-date version of the table data. That's certainly how the cache helper works in general. I'd be surprised if the MfD framework did something different.
