Cache validity time is determened when loading a response from the 
backend based on the response headers and the configuration active 
at that time.  Any futher changes to the configuration have no 
effect.

So what you did is basically correct: if you are making major 
changes to your caching configuration, you may need to clear the 
cache manually.
