Ditto experience on my end. I reached the same conclusion about the proxy at etisalat's end, in order to circumvent the problem, I just setup a proxy on a non-etisalat connection. The page would refresh everytime I would change it, and i'll just let etisalat proxy take its own sweet time to refresh its cache.
Unfortunately though if its a client u're making a change for, u don't get paid till the proxy refreshes!

I also think it is Etisalat being over-agressive with caching so they save money with their overseas bandwidth. Cheapskates. When I was an Etisalat customer and editing the ski club website I had just the same problem. If you have no querie on the URL you can put a fake one there. My pages were static and I just added "?123" to the end of the URL. The web server ignored the querie because it wasn't coded to be read, but the etisalat cache saw it as a different page. I seem to remember I had to do that with the bbc news site as well so I could get the UK front page instead of the international one. PAUL
