But the length of time they can cache an entry is controled by the people who control the servers for that domain. Servers for dynamic versions set that time to *very* short, so the changes propagate quickly. The downside is that their servers get pounded for updates. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
