I used what I called the "Page fault" method.

I have a sub-domain called en.static.phpclasses.org . en stands for
English, so there may be support for static versions of the site in
other languages.

The document tree of this sub-domain is initially empty. I set an error
handler document to a script that handles missing document errors.

Since the pages do not exist in this domain initially, the script is
called. It figures the URL that is requested and see if it matches a
valid pattern of documents and other files that should be rendered as
static files. If it matches, it makes a request to the main site for the
respective document using an HTTP class that I wrote a long time ago.
Then it stores the retreived document in a file of the static domain
tree, eventually creating any needed sub directories.

All non logged users are redirected to this domain, or mirror sites now.
It takes only one request per page to make it available, so the next
requests are served as static files.

Manuel Lemos
