The purpose of the option is to stop another URL replacing the one that is in the cache if it has been removed or replaced with a redirection. While it is possible to make this option apply to all pages in the cache I think that the orignal purpose of it was to preserve specific archives of pages from selected hosts. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
