:> :> why not just use some separate subsystem for caching, eq. a squid :> in httpd accelerator mode?
<snip> This would only allow you to cache on web page boundaries not on object boundaries. I'd like to be able to write a DTML Method: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var always_dynamically_rendered_object> <dtml-var possibly_cached_object> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Moreover, I want the cached thing to be aware of acquisition, etc.. I think this necessitates its (rather close) integration with Zope. OTOH, am I in the minority of people that thinks cacheing on web page boundaries (i.e., REQUEST boundaries) is interesting but not compelling? A perfect case in point is the zope beta site. I always want to display the users login (which would be computer on ever hit) and say, "Welcome rob" However, I'd also like to cache the a rendered <dtml-var news_items> object. --Rob
