yep, that would do it!

The app is a bit stupid now (not the original codebase, what was added
after), and it's either all or nothing. Which is the problem... but
yes, it definitely sends the all the right headers for caching, even
when it shouldn't (which is the problem!).

... I guess I was just a bit confused with the allow - I had some
problems with it simply denying access (not forwarding)... again the
problem being I don't work enough with reverse proxy caching on *nix
get pass the minimum level to get comfortable. I just discovered a
particularly nasty bug that has existed since in mod_cache since
apache 2.0.52 and nobody seems to care about (aptmp* files not getting
cleaned in the cache dir), so might just switch back!
Thanks for all your help.
