An approach might be to modify the backend, so that responses for these users are rendered uncacheable. A full guide to the conditions which determine cacheability is at; http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/caching.html#overview Forcing the backend to include a "Vary: *" header for such responses would give the desired behaviour for example. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: colm+pgp@xxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
