Suppose I have an ASP.NET application running across several web servers behind a load balancer: Can I: Force OutputCache (Page and/or Control level) to expire globally? Force Data Cache (i.e. Cache.Insert) to expire? Monitor ASP.NET caching usage (keys RAM etc) from a central location? One possible solution would be to have every usage of cache check a file dependency for changes. The file could be touched which would expire all cache. However this requires developers to include the dependency in all their code. Is their a better solution?
