Because ASP pages can make decisions on what to return depending on browser-specific or IP specific information? I have never seen ASP, but if its similar to Apache's SHTML, then that would be a problem ... caches *cannot* cache browser-specific content and then return it to all browsers hitting that cache. That would return incorrect content and the pages wouldn't display properly. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
