Another option is to use a distributed cache system like memcached.
Pretty easy to setup, and then you can have a "warm cache" action that
populates the configured URIs in the cache.  So, your daemon queries
cache, if it comes up empty then make a call out to the app to
generate the URLs and stuff them in cache.
