Oh.  That makes sense.  The OS would also know if the file were updated,
and therefor be able to keep the cache up to date, I assume.  You can
configure Apache as a proxy server, in which case there are cache
directives, but it didn't seem like they had anything to do w/ what I
was asking.  I've spent most of my life using that other OS, so I'm
still learning how *nix is all glued together.  Thanks for the help.
