A form post shouldn't be cached, and https URLs shouldn't be cached either. Does your login page perform a form post? Does it use SSL? For the login attempts you say aren't logged in your custom logging solution, do the Web server logs have any record of the form posts? If your Web server is showing hits, then you can bump caching down on the list of possibilities. Inspect the Web log for one of the failed login attempts and compare it to a successful login, The difference between the two could reveal the problem, assuming you are logging detailed information, such as cookie contents.
The most common error I have seen that fits these symptoms is that the logout page and the login page are the same page, such as login.cfm?action=logout. People bookmark the logout page, thinking they are bookmarking the login page, and the login logic doesn't account for this possibility.
