Before you go there, I’d seriously investigate your cache and content. Some 
thoughts

1. Is your cache not large enough? How large is your active data content? Disks 
are fairly cheap, pinning is not (looking at your rules, I think you’ll kill 
your performance completely).

2. Do you have adequate RAM ?

3. What evidence is there to make you think pinning actually makes things 
better? Maybe what you are really looking for is to allocate some amount of the 
disks for Facebook content only ? This can be done with volume.config / 
hosting.config.

4. Are you sure you are not mixing up the notion of Cache-Control: max-age with 
pinning?



In almost all cases I’ve seen ATS use, the cache does a great job on its own. 
Messing with things like cache pinning ought to be a last resort IMO, for some 
very specific use cases. I don’t think this is one of those.

Cheers,
