I just needed a "quick fix" so I tweaked the view/cust_main.cgi.  One
machine was having a problem with that one file.  Go figure.  I have a w3c
doc bookmarked somewhere regarding what headers to set to disallow
caching.

Perhaps just a simple 1-50, 51-100 style paging system and by letter for
alphabetic order.  It would be much simpler than mucking around with page
caching.

I can do that an submit a patch if desired.
