That I believe will add to the processing, making it slower and also
add one more component to the system (web server). I want to be able
to inject content directly into the cache store, hoping that it will
make prepopulation faster, if I already have the content.

Thanks for the help though.

If I were to implement something like PURGE (but opposite in
functionality) how would I go about doing it. Is there an API for
squid or something ?
