Content Expiration - Tell browsers to cache

I'd let to set content expiration for a reason other than normal: We need clients to cache a specific page for a period of time. We're doing this for bandwidth issues.

So basically, the question is, if I set this for 14 days, how do the clients know when 14 days is up? The machines that are connecting to the site are thin clients that reset themselves to a default image at the end of the day, meaning they cannot remember how many days the have passed, since they have no memory of when they last visited.

Does IIS tell people when to fetch a newer version, or is this left up to the clients?
