Err, no. You've got it mixed up.


1. I am at home in Guatemala, on Telefonica's network. This is the ISP running a transparent proxy. I am requesting pages from my computer, as a client.

2. The server is in Texas, on EV1's network, at a datacenter. No caching, proxying, or other messing with traffic is taking place.

So yes, my ISP is caching /internal/ requests for /external/ pages, which makes sense. They're just doing it in such an aggressive way as to break some browsing functionality (being able to demand a refresh) and driving me nuts (which is what started this thread).
