No, if shared memory is overflowed you will see in error_log the message:
"ngx_slab_alloc(): failed". The problem is that currently no way to see
what memory zone is overflowed: no name and subsystem (proxy cache,
ssl_session_cache, limit requests, etc.) I'm going to fix this.

The second. The valid time is stored in both memory and file as
now + proxy_cache_valid. Therefore, a response will be valid
for 10m after its creation, and then will be recached for 30s.
