Beware of HTTP servers that are really *gateways* to information you
may not want to cache. I have two such servers:
http://pubweb.parc.xerox.com/map
and
http://web2.xerox.com/digitrad
Both are front ends to large databases where it makes little sense to
cache. However both servers also have a small and fairly static
hierarchy of HTML documents as well, under:
http://pubweb.parc.xerox.com/hypertext
and
http://web2.xerox.com/docs
Can your cache server be configured to know the difference?
Note that my servers have not yet been upgraded to HTTP/1.0, but they
will be eventually.
