I probably wasn't clear. My site is being served by Zope, a Web application
server that serves very dynamic content. Currently, there's no mechanism
available within Zope to cache pages that don't happen to be dynamic. One
technique that people use is to add http headers the pages that indicate
when they were last changed, and put Squid in front of it all caching the
static stuff and passing the requests for dynamic pages through to Zope. I
don't have any idea how well this works yet in practice. I'm investigating
the possibility at this stage.
