Well, I'm probably simplifying grossly.  What I wanted to happen was
that if you have a squid in front of loggerhead that if a request comes
in from the internet for a page (with no If-None-Match header) and squid
has the page cached, that squid would check the validity of the cache by
making a request to loggerhead with an If-None-Match and if that
returned 304, squid should return the page from its cache.  I couldn't
get this to happen.  My understanding was that mod_disk_cache would do
this.

It was quite a while ago, I've forgotten details and was quite probably
mistaken even at the time...
