I don't know, it seems like it is a server-side authentication issue
to me. Client-side pages are static, if they do something at 7pm, they
do it again at 7am. If that is not happening for you, it is most
likely a server-side problem.

With basic authentication, I suspect this is true since the browser will
send over the username/password automatically if the server says it is
not authenticated.

My suspicion of what happens with windows authentication as follows:
- MSIE client issues username/password to server
- server issues a windows integrated authentication token w/ some
expiration date
- client uses token for a while
- the next morning, the token has already expired, but the client is
still using the same token (the stale cache issue), so the old cached
pages work but the non-cached ones do not

I was hoping someone else may have experienced the same issue...
