I went through the configuration links to
http://woody:8080/configuration/Purge/age

and inserted es.wikipedia.org after de.wikipedia.org.

Then i followed the bottom link back to the control page, from where i issued re-reading the config and then went again to 
http://woody:8080/configuration/Purge/age
to see what happened.

The browser (galeon 1.3.20) didn't show the new entry.
After a simple reload, it did.

We discovered this problem already and identified it as (probably) RAM-caching.
Anyway, i would appreciate to know if this problem exists with other browser, running other kernels (and on Windoes) as well ? Could some of you on this list give a feedback ?

Welli will assume it's rather generally a problem. And i can accpt to 'remember to reload' with webpages somehow. But i think it is not accpetable with the configurator (and also content management, but ok let's leave this out for the moment). No, i don't want to say it's your fault, Andrew. But to a user (who does not understand the implications), it is totally confusing, and must appear as just a bug. 

Maybe the problem would best be solved at the browser side. I don't know. But i guess they would not change their code just for some proxy users. So, i like to ask you again, Andrew: Couldn't there something be done ?
