SSL Caching problem?

Hi, I have a bit of a strange problem.
We have a web site in development which is using Digest Authentication & SSL. We have a hardware load balancer infront of the web servers but it also ensures that for the lifetime of a connection that a user's machine will hit the same web server (hopefully that made sense?). This works fine in that for each new copy of IE it prompts for the Username & Password and the WebServers are balanced okay. However on one (developers) machine (Windows2000 / IE6) after the initial username prompt subsequent copies of IE don't prompt and hit the same Web Server. If you shutdown all copies of IE and then retry it then prompts again.
I suspect it is a rogue registry entry or caching issue but don't know where to start. Help!

Thanks in advance


 
Try, tools/internet options/advanced: check "disable caching of ssl pages
 
If it's turned off that's your problem, turn it on..

disable must be ON.
 
Sorry I meant caching of ssl pages is turned off
 
Ok, try to stop the DNS client service on the workstation and inspect hosts file to see if there is nothing unusual there.
