?Caching? problems?

I am trying to move my main sites from a host which is closing to a new
server. Most of the migration has gone well but I am experiencing odd
?caching? behavior that has old data being served up even if I hit
shift-reload or go to a different computer(!).

The new server is running NetBSD, and httpd -v gives:

Server version: Apache/2.0.59
Server built: Jul 5 2007 12:37:12

The source site is http://JonathansCorner.com/ , copied on the new server to
http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ . I'm having trouble with the root-level
index, which should change once a minute and does so on the source site.

On the destination site, I have a script that looks at the domain and serves
up either the (changing minute by minute) content of
http://JonathansCorner.com/ , or if the domain is one of a few specific
domains, serves up the content of http://JonathansCorner.com/home/ . Now,
accessing it through http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ is intended to give
similar results to http://JonathansCorner.com/ , and if I circumvent Apache
and run the script on the command line, it does exactly what I want it to.

The behavior I have seen was first for http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/ to
give one single, frozen page like http://JonathansCorner.com/ shows (this is
persistent across shift-reloads), and then to give the content of
http://JonathansCorner.com/home/ .

I can post the script if requested, but I don't think it's the script, both
because it is simple enough--serve up one of two files depending on regexp
comparisons of the domain names--and because I get the intended dynamic
output if I run it from the command line.

Are there ways Apache may be caching that I can configure away in httpd.conf
or script headers? Are there other likely culprits?

Thanks,

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any issue. Both sites
http://JonathansCorner.com/ and
http://moved.jonathanscorner.com/

look the same aside from slightly different "starting points" when I view
them. The starting point on both refreshes to the same thing on both when
I do cntl-r and every so often ( ihaven't actually timed it) when I do
that it changes to a different starting point
..

So "it works for me".

I had made a mistake not related to Apache and things behaved predictably
well when I fixed it.

Sorry for troubling the list,
