For dynamic stuff, "X-sendfile" works well. (Just really starting to play with that, liking it so far).

It's not a solve-all though, I mean even though CGI's or whatever /could/ write their output to a file and then call X-sendfile, it'd be a disaster latency-wise. Ironically enough the only way to solve that is ... async ;-)

The proxy that the LiveJournal folks wrote, I think, copies all the data from the origin server into a file and then uses sendfile to send to the client...

Erm, so does the one we wrote, mod_disk_cache ;p

IMHO it doesn't for the first request of the entity (the request that causes the entity to be cached)
