Sure if "everything" on the site is tagged as dynamic or is pre-expired
then what is the point of caching at all - but "everything" doesn't need
to be for caching and hit-stats to coexist - just count your hits on one
item, just leave those items that ABSOLUTELY must be dynamic be dynamic -
and items that should be updated daily - should have the correct expires
date set - so that IMS can work to their advantage.
