That looks more like a browser/proxy issue.
Notice that:
- Internet Explorer often caches pages when it should NOT do it;
- Internet Explorer sometimes even uses a cache copy when you refresh;
- Some browsers ignore those meta tags.
- Proxies (usualy) ignore those meta tags.
Solutions I use:
- To control page caching I use HTTP headers;
- To avoid Internet Explorer caching issues I use Netscape 4.7x (the
page doesn't look so good but caching and refresh realy work in a
predictable way.
For more info on caching issues and the relevant HTTP headers read...
