A "first" hit, by definition, couldn't already be in the cache - and so 
couldn't be served from the cache. (you could preload your cache, but 
really that would be the "first" hit...)


The whole point of a cache is to reduce hits (decreasing load or latency) 
to the backend - what possible problem would your solution solve?
