Thanks for the answer.

Is there a way to know the effective used size in the SHM segement ?

Another question about proxy_cache_valid. Let say I set it to 10m. I
do some hits and the requests are cached well. Now I update my conf
and set proxy_cache_valid to 30s and send a HUP signal to nginx. How
is already cached files timeout handled at restart or reload ?

Is the cache going to be mark as stale 30s after ?
Is the cache going to stay in the cache until its 10m timeout is
reached (and then be recached with a 30s timeout) ?

Thanks you very much. This cache module for proxy is just what we were
waiting for :)
