A better option would be to send DC a patch where you move the setting of the last-modified header to _before_ rendering the DTML, so it can be overridden in that DTML. Or so that it at least checks wether the DTML has set a last-modified header and leaves it intact.

That way you can programmatically change the last-modified header sent to the browser. Much better solution.

I suspect that this may be a non-issue - Alex, are you running 1.11.something by any chance? That release had the Last-Modified setting code, but it has since been removed (since it was basically there in an abortive attempt to handle If-Modified-Since) in CVS and the latest Z2 alphas...

How did you guess? :-) I was just going to comment that fidding with the Last-Modified header would be really stupid, because it would muck up any future implementating of caching and handling of If-Modified-Since in ZServer.
