Anybody could give me a clue? mod_cache/mod_disk_cache use standard HTTP caching rules to determine when to check for updates. In general, there is no way for the cache to know when a file has been updated. It will only do freshness checks according to the information it has in the Cache-control, Expires, and Last-Modified headers. So if you want the freshness checked more often, you need to modify those headers on the content.
