Flat file or RDBMS or what

Not a mis-sent cancellation!

So, maybe there are a few helpful people left on this listserv??

I need to load a web server with between 500 and 1000 web pages and help
users retrieve the correct _few_ pages based on a query. The query (HTML
form) will be kind of an interview. (What are your interests, blah blah
blah.) There will need to be if-then-else logic in the query and I want
the query result to be a page with links to the appropriate pages from
the archive. Moreover, I want the results to be cached for 30 days so
users can return to it without repeating the interview. A complicating
factor is that there will be a great deal of churn in the archive, with
pages coming and going and the interview questions will also be in flux
as my users needs change.

My question is what solution will give simpler on-going maintenance and
what complications could I anticipate in hosting the site remotely. 

Thank you in advance.
