IIS7 UNC File caching issue

You have to either choose dir-monitoring and file-change-notification with its drawback of using SMB resources or periodic file attribute check with its drawback of serving stale content for a period of time.

If you can write a native module, you can use IHttpServer::NotifyFileChange to notify the file-cache of the file changing when you manually change it.
