No! If you start caching temporary redirects again and break the !@#$%$%
code I had to fix in squid way back when I'll...I'll...do something _really_
horrible!

You may _not_ cache temporary redirects. Ever. For any reason.

Ok, well, maybe per-host, something like:

stupid_broken_temp_redirect_hosts: www.idiot.org

But if you cache temp redirs in general, you break _many_ pages (like the NY
Times).
