This should be happening. It may be delayed by a timeout though.

Already released as beta. It's stable enough that if you test and find
everything works for you then can be used in production. The changes are
just big enough to need re-testing for each beta though, just in case.

I use it here for CDN and IPv6 access at Treehouse, and the Squid wiki
is also CDN provided through it. I know there are quite a few others
finding it very usable as well.

The only holdup on a stable release is a last bit of code polishing and
a few bugs we don't have the info or time to fix so far. PS, thats a
call for help if anyone has some time.
