What exactly are you referring to here?  Logs?

If there is a cached CRL (note that `cachecrls` refers to caching CRLs 
persistently in /etc/ipsec.d/crls, not the in-memory cache) that's still 
valid, there won't be a new fetch.  And the `rereadcrls` command has no 
effect on this as it only triggers a reload of CRLs from 
/etc/ipsec.d/crls, it does not purge any in-memory caches (try 
`purgecrls` for that).  Also see this thread [1].

Regards,
Tobias
