*> Basically it says 	'Update this page every 5 minutes'
*> 			'Do not cache this page cos that would be daft'
*> 			'Assuming you keep a decent NTP clock, this page

*> 
*> The only fun to be had is the dynamic rebuilding of the 'Expires' line

if you use rrd_cgi these things will be added automatically in the HTTP
header portion of the page ...
