[WEB400] Re: RSS Feeds

[Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

This really depends on how you do it. There are some sites that create
it dynamically, there are others that create it statically. If you are
worried about that there is a couple sites that can help cache your
feed:

* FeedBurner is one I use. They cache the feed here so that the feed
readers don't pound your bandwidth as much. They retrieve the feed
about once an hour or so. http://www.feedburner.com.
* There is a RSS cache server also that just poped up. I can't seem to
find the URL for that right now.

The reason I suggest this is then you don't have such a hit on your
server for everyone trying to retrieve your feed.
