Yes, I do that. I actually use lastRSS to do the caching. It runs similar to Magpie RSS, or SimplePie RSS. It gets refreshed every 10 minutes. I also use Yahoo Pipes to aggregate the RSS data from different feeds. It works well so far and it does the job, skipping problematic feeds. If it gives me a problem, I'll host the aggregated feeds locally, maybe via SweetCron.

Thanks.
