I didn't mean the caching-timeouts of a dynamicly calculated content. We talked about images which sit in a file on the harddisk and i assumed that they don't change that often.

Having Flash Drives for 400GB of content could kill some budgets ;) Greetings Christoph _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
