Yeah... back buttons are the hell of the web. Those tags refer to how a browser should handle *new* requests. The browser has to download all the pieces and parts of the page... so they're still "cached" in a certain sense. When you click back, you're looking at the results of that request. Where these tags come into play is whether or not a browser will use pages ALREADY IN the cache or not when a user clicks on a link.
So when you click back, you're seeing the results of an existing request. There's a few ways to deal with this... one of them is Javascript... you can embed a JS routine in each page that analyzes some data (current time versus request time) and forces them to a login page and then restarts the login/browsing process... It sucks, but there's nothing we can do other than various workarounds... Laterz!
