App Engine should not automatically cache anything unless you tell it to.
Here are the probably cases:

1. Did you set cache-control headers? If you set cache-control:public, this
may cause your ISP, any proxies, or even the App Engine infrastructure to
hold on longer than you like.
2. Local browser cache? (Test using curl/wget/telnet)
3. Could your ISP be caching?

I could be misunderstanding your email - are you using URLFetch? There may
be some caching that happens on responses, but this data should be extremely
short-lived.

At any rate, you may want to ask this question in the Google App Engine
groups: http://code.google.com/appengine/community.html
