I've changed the cofiguration of apache to include
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2 months" which may result in minor performance improvements for clients locoated farther away from the server. This is especially important as the archives appear to be getting more international. --------- what I didn't do --------------- I'd really like to have a command for the html pages that said something like ExpiresByType text/html "(time since modification) * 5" but Apache is not that sophisiticated. So html data doesn't currently carry expiry headers. I can only hope that some caching proxy serveres use an algorithm like this by default.
