Amos, thank you very, very much for that detailed answer :-)
Not quite what I was hoping for, me wanting to get more HITs even if one
or both of the above headers were to be included.
(The goal is to reduce MISS-es and increase HIT-s, obviously.)

But I think you pointed me to another direction... I need to cross-check
and even tripple check how the actual back-end is configured.

Amos, if you ever visit Iceland, I'll buy you a beer :-)

Thanks again,
Cheers,
