The folks in the R&D group are implementing a portal that uses frames (not
my idea). The frameset is something like this:
 _____________________________
|		|			|
|		|			|
|		|			|
|  login	|	content	|
|  page	|	page		|
|		|			|
|		|			|
|		|			|
 -----------------------------

Before you log in, you get a Welcome page in the content page area. After
logging in, you get content in the content page area instead of the Welcome
page. There is a Logout button in the content area for ending the session,
which makes the Welcome page appear again.

An issue with this setup is that when you click on the Back button after
logging out, you go back to the frameset page that contains the "pre-logout"
frameset with content in the content area. They would like the cached
version of this frameset page with content in the content area not to be
appear after logging out. I have tried setting the HTTP cache-control
headers (Cache-control: no-cache, Pragma: no-cache, expiring content
immediately in IIS, the whole bit) and adding the same in Meta tags in order
to prevent caching, and they don't seem to be working (or at least doing
what we want them to do). Can anyone think of a way to make the page in the
content area refresh back to the Welcome page when clicking on the back
button after logging out? They are using IIS 5 and .aspx.
