A simple php script that does a simple time cache would suffice for
this.

When queried for the first time, it could save (in a flat file) either
the time it was queried or the time + 24 hours.  When it needs to
generate and someone lands on the page, it could query the db and output
html.  During the time that it doesn't need to talk to the database, it
could just include the created html file.

This would eliminate the need to play with cron jobs, though I think
that either way would work just as good.

Web pages should be generated once per day, displaying a listing of device ids and links to the respective drivers.

Static web pages (HTML) should be generated using a cron job. Polling the database results in an unnecessary load on the server, as the database is updated somewhat infrequently; this job can run right after the DB is updated when checking for dead driver links.
