Yes.  The cache tier has changed significantly, but the basic  
configuration is still the same.

This is still the case.  There's a refresh-pattern in place for the  
entirety of *.zope.org that should allow nothing without some sub-set  
of the proper cache control headers to be set.  A valid subset would  
be at least a Last-Modified and either an Expires or a Cache-Control:  
max-age.  Neither of these appear to be set, so that refresh pattern  
should be in effect.

It has, but mostly only in layout and some streamlining of the  
configuration.  The basic rules you established are still in place,  
since we assumed you had good reasons for them.  I haven't been  
following this discussion terribly closely, but I'll take a closer  
look at things this evening.
