Output Cache problem on ViewEngine that use 2 separate view for 1 controller

Question

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MixMobileWebSitesWithASPNETMVCAndTheMobileBrowserDefinitionFile.aspx

To the sake of simplicity, please try out this. Basically, I am trying to do the mobile view engine, but then i found out that I have outputcache, which will cache one of 2 view (PC view) and then when i tried to access through mobile, it automatic show PC view.

So is there anyway to avoid this problem while still keeping the outputcache?

Thanks

Answer 1

Is your problem that out of the box variance from Outputcache (varibyparam, varybycostum, varybyquerystring) is not enough?

If you need a cache that has variance by some route value then this might help you.

I havn't tried these solutions but maybe they get you started.

EDIT At the time I wrote this answer I thought that Outputcache has no varinace by route values. But it realy has. Each URL has its own cache entry.
