Indeed. I think if you are planning on caching at your end, then you
need to provide users with a way to force a live get as well,
possibly making this a higher cost, or more to the point the cached
one cheaper :-)
Yep, that's the plan. Cache it for a predetermined amount of time, but
give the client the option to force refresh of the info. The more
people use it, the more likely the cache is to be up to date, and the
cheaper it gets. Win-win really.
