I have absolutely no idea, and actually I'm not even sure what you are
asking. Are you asking for a data structure or some sort of algorithm?

Perhaps the people behind Squid has had similar considerations. They
already have a HTTP proxy that can handle a lot of simultaneous
clients. So take a look at their source code.

Also, you might have better luck getting good answers if you ask more
specific questions and reveal what thoughts you have made on the
subject prior to asking your question.

1,Our team is developing proxy server. I have to implement cache part
so when ever a new request com from client I have to check the request
URL is in cache of proxy and send to client, if it is not there then it
have to get data from web server and store in proxy server cache.

2,For every page there is certain life time if that life time expiries
it have to flesh out data and keep new data

So which is the best cache which take less time for searching

I think you are pretty lost. Why not make a team effort to get the
brilliant stable a world-wide used proxy server, Squid, and compile it
on a nice linux system. It's free so your bosses wont ever have to know
that you didn't write it. Then again, you do have to write the
configuration file. Make a team effort of that to. One can write the
ACLs while the other puts it the http accel part, etc.

Try it.

No need to write one, the best performing http proxy server can
be freely downloaded including the source (www.squid-cache.org)
it will easily handle 5000 clients. Just make sure to have enough
RAM and 15k SCSI disks for the cache.
