Yahoo says: "The problem with ETags is that they typically are constructed using attributes that make
them unique to a specific server hosting a site. ETags won't match when a browser gets
the original component from one server and later tries to validate that component on a
different server, a situation that is all too common on Web sites that use a cluster of
servers to handle requests. By default, both Apache and IIS embed data in the ETag that
dramatically reduces the odds of the validity test succeeding on web sites with multiple
servers."
So this is an issue with sites having multiple servers.
