The most common reason any Web server doesn't return a last-modified date is because you are parsing all HTML documents for server side includes. For whatever reason, when a document has to be parsed this way, no last-modified header is given. In your Netscape admin interface, go to Content Mgmt. Then click on "Parse HTML." (Umm, that's where it is in the 2.x version of the servers; I imagine int he 3.x line, it is someplace similar). Change the server-parsed options there to either turn them off, or turn them on more selectively. Alternatively, you can add a "last-modified" header in each HTML document, which should also work in the same manner. In Apache, you can specify that a last-modified header can be given even for server-parsed documents.
