Karl that is silly - in the a lot less time and effort that you would put
in setting up your redirect - you could have just used  a correct Expires
header and has your content (or at least just the suff that you want to
remain dynamic) avoid the cache.  It serves you as the designer as much as
it serves the enduser (speedier loads).  If your page comes up quickly
chances are the person will venture around a bit londer and click more
links in the 20 minutes that they have before their date picks them up
etc...  It's common sense.
