Well, if you're caching but having your content updated twice a day wouldn't you be better off letting the db take the strain? I don't see how else you are going to make sure people are seeing the latest content as opposed to cached pages that are out of date. Let your db do the work, that's what it's for :) One of the 'home grown' solutions I saw was to 404 page to trigger the creation of a static html page made from the results of the first query on the db. The problems I saw though were: What about browser compat issues and what a pain that would be to have to wipe the 'cached' static dir every time you updated your content. It seemed well suited to articles that wouldn't alter much over time though.
