I really dont see the point. Either a web-page is static or it's dynamic
and in the last case it is likely to change every time (eg a counter) or it
is unlikely that the same request is requested twice (eg searches on
altavista).

You dont tell what your script really do, but if it has a finite
possibilities of input variables and a finite output pages (as I suppose
because you want the pages cached), then you should consider to make a
script that dumps all the possible pages one time for all as static pages,
with the appropriate headers.

If this is not possible - then this is truly a cgi-script that I dont want
to cache because I dont have infinite disk-space.
