Each page is supposed to be sent with an expiry or cache-control and
Last-modified headers from the web server. To set expiry times for proxy
different to web browsers use the s-* options meaning 'server' for the
proxy times.

As a backup refresh_pattern can be used to squelch expiry. But that is a
very sub-optimal solution.

* If * the web srerver has different IPs on each of its listening links...

Two cache_peer entries. One with each of the servers link IPs.
Load balance between the links with 'round-robin'/'weighted-round-robin'
option, or one as 'default' and the other as backup if the main dies.
