Hmm, I use external methods all the time with Zope (various versions on
Windows) and haven't seen that.  It would be more a browser problem, and
Netscape is notorious for caching when you don't want it to.

It's possible to put instructions into the page not to cache - but I don't
remember the details - isn't it a <meta> tag?
