Not to mention those to derive advertising revenue from "views", and have no way to measure them in a cached environment. If I was doing that, I would also deny service to proxy servers and display a nice message telling the user to remove the proxy or bitch about its forced use.
Karl that is silly - in the a lot less time and effort that you would put in setting up your redirect - you could have just used a correct Expires header and has your content (or at least just the suff that you want to remain dynamic) avoid the cache. It serves you as the designer as much as it serves the enduser (speedier loads). If your page comes up quickly chances are the person will venture around a bit londer and click more links in the 20 minutes that they have before their date picks them up etc... It's common sense. -- I am nothing if not net-Q! - ras@poppa.clubrich.tiac.net
