Proxying PHP Pages

Hello everyone,
We just recieved the email below from a gaming company on the internet at
www.digitaladdiction.com concerning caching of PHP pages and cookies.

A couple of questions:
1) I didn't think that squid cached cookies ?
2) Dynamic PHP pages, are these the same as cgi's and should we include
them under the stoplist part not to cache or fetch from neighbors etc ?

I've also emailed the company concerned suggesting that their product
should be more proxy aware as they are a fact of life on the internet now
instead of adding isp's to a ban list that are running " aggressive
cacheing practices " as they put it.
