Unfortunately this isn't an option for me, as far as I can see. I've
been informed that ISA server caches requests based on URL including the
query string. This means that if I take the suggested approach, ISA
server will cache every single request, none of which will ever be
requested again. This is prohibitive, based on the projected traffic.

Does this mean that it is _impossible_ to override default caching
behaviour when using AJAX techniques. Surely not?

Thanks for the assistance!
