I noticed the recent thread on cache busting. The last item mentioned by Shel Kaplan about the use of unique URLs can be probably a good motivation to use a different replacement policy than LRU. Lorenzo Viciano and I have a report on this at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html/ which suggests a different policy called LRV which uses -- among other parameters -- the number of previous accesses to determine how valuable is a document. The nice thing about LRV is that the weight associated with the number of previous accesses to a document is evaluated dynamically by a proxy: if the percentage of documents with a single access increases, their weight decreases and they are purged earlier.
