Sure. If you aren't worried about keeping a history of all posts from
this point on, a simple solution would be to download each feed and
serve it from your own webserver.

My django solution, involves a similar thing, but it adds each feed
item to a database table and the list of feeds is also in the
database. Feeds can be managed from the admin interface provided by
django and they are assembled on each request for them.

I may be misunderstanding that, but I was thinking of a cache that archives 
the *entire* feed, not just the last n entries.
Say the site has a feed with the latest 10 entries in it.  The cache pulls 
down all 10.  Some time later, the feed is checked again.  The cache should 
not replace the 10 existing entries with the 10 new entries, but instead add 
any new entries to the existing ones.  That way, another device can pull, 
say, the last 100 (or even 1000) entries from the cache.

How is that different from the solution I said I had which stores stuff in the database?
I offered two solutions. The first did _only_ copied the feeds from each site and 
stored them locally. The second kept each feed item around for eternity.

Sorry for the confusion.
