After that, it will keep serving that cached copy until your TTL expires or you manually flush the CDN cache. Pull CDN's are handy because they pick up data from you only when necessary. Push CDN's require you to upload all of your data to the CDN servers first before the data can be served by the CDN. After that, you have to ensure that you upload all new content to the CDN when it needs to be served. I'm not a fan of push CDN's because it requires more work from me. ;-) Mediasiana - A pull CDN will retrieve the media from your site upon the first access.

It's an on-demand pull. If someone sends a request for http://cdn.rackerhacker.com/style.css, the CDN provider will pull the latest copy from rackerhacker.com the first time. Subsequent accesses will just pull from the CDN only until the data expires. If you update something on your site and you need to CDN to pick up the change, you can flush the file from the CDN on their website. Push CDN's require you to upload your content to them when you make changes, and that requires some extra work that I'd rather not do. :-) George -
