What if we want to cache images as well as templates?Any files (.tmpl, for instance) that WebCatalog 'sees' are not 'seen' by WebSTAR, so you can leave both caches on and should be fine.

I recommend you put [BrowserName] into a template and hit it with as many browsers as you have. Or create a database that tracks all unique browsers by name to get an idea of what's out there hitting your site.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
