I'm having some issues with a site, and 210.55.212.193 (which is not the IP of the Spark connection I am on) keeps showing up in the troubleshooting.

Can someone (Peter?) tell me if that's in the proxy farm?

210.55's are. I'd need to check that the rest of that address is in the Static pool.

Is there a way of getting a site blocked from being cached?

Lias: Is there a way of getting a site blocked from being cached?

Provide correct http headers requesting no cache when serving the page.

Or request it with the no cache directive.

or use https so they cant cache it.

Having "no-cache" in the http header is no guarantee a website won't be cached. Proxy's can simply ignore this flag. I believe this was part of the issue which caused the recent issues with using unblock services and Netflix for a number of ISP's in New Zealand.

Yes you can ask them to put the site on a bypass list so they won't cache the site. See my post here:
