What is happening is that the page comes from the browser cache when you do a 
back link (back button in your browser). So the request doesn't go to your 
server. I checked this by switching off my internet connection and then trying 
both the back button and entering the URL in the address bar. So it has nothing 
to do with referrer, I think.
