The problem is that this means the users will be putting a serious smack-down on the servers, even harder than they already down. The cache helps (usually...) on both ends, and, as already mentioned, this would not be the only site that would have this problem. So, all in all, I can't recommend a short cache-time for PerlMonks, which is already, one guesses, hard-up for bandwidth and processor time.

For you guys, I would recommed going to your company, because issues like this are security-related, and will affect more than one user. Or...in Mozilla, Go Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Cache, and change it to "Every Time I view the Page", and see if that doesn't help the problem.
