texte = Greetings!What is the WebDNA community doing for cacheing page fragment files? On =my website I have some pages that require significant processing to =generate the visible content.

Rather then do this every time the page =is requested, i first check to see if the fragment exists, then check to =see if it=E2=80=99s current, and then if both of those are false I =render out the html, save it in a new fragment file, and display it to =the user.=20SO.. here=E2=80=99s my question: the fragments are saved as .inc or =.frag. WebDNA does not cache these as they are neither templates nor =databases. This causes a lot of disk activity as I use fragments =extensively to speed up the the quasi-static parts of the website. How =can I get webdna to cache these? I am hesitant to add the extensions to =the template field in the settings. I do not want the fragment under any =circumstance to be able to be directly accessed by a web visitor. Should =I block the extension from being served by Apache? Would it be possible =to get a third cache field type in the webdna settings? Thoughts? =Suggestions?=20Thanks!Brian B.=
