That's an interesting suggestion! I didn't know about the free CloudFlare
services. After having checked their website, it isn't entirely clear to
me though where this would work for crl.cacert.org. Do you (or someone else)
have any experience with the service?

As I read it, there is a fixed list of file extensions for which the content
will be cached statically. This does not include .crl, which is the only one
we care about for crl.cacert.org. Does that mean that CloudFlare will retrieve
the crl each time it is referenced? Or will it cache that one dynamically?
If so, for how long? Can we force it to refresh somehow?

Regards,
