If it finds it, it will serve the cached file without reassembling the page first. When staging and live db share the same MidgardPageCacheDir this could result in staging page being server on the live site and vise versa. So, in a staging & live setup, make very sure that staging and live sites use different MidgardPageCacheDir's. wkr, -- Envida http://www.envida.net/ Armand A.
