As others have pointed out, caches, proxies et cetera are often Your Friends. Thus, I wonder if there is something specific you are trying to achieve here? Maybe these wise men from odd countries (like Mr McKinnon's weird country on an unknown planet, with companies with actual clueful management! ;) ) can help you even more if you reveal a bit of the *why* behind the question. -- Arttu V.
