If you're using the cache_fu Rails plugin, you can use reset_cache instead of expire_cache to avoid the 'dog-pile' effect.

not sure how that would work ... or how it will fit in

For some sites that i admin, and for some zones of it, I usually update the cache just for localhost. All the content coming from "!local_request?" show cache. Then in a simple crontab on the same machine will wget some urls to update cache. I know it is very monkey, but it run nice.
