ISA - Browsers behind firewall show up as Http version 1.0 instead of 1.1

Hi,
We just installed ISA standard edition SP1 and we are having some peculiar issues.
The first is that all browsers behind our ISA server that browse out are identified as HTTP 1.0 connections instead of 1.1.
Also, users are seeing myyahoo profiles of other users when they go to their myyahoo page.  
I'm not sure whether the 2 are related.  The lattermay be a caching issue, but I'm not sure.  
The install was a standard straight forward install so I didn't customize any of the options as this was my first experience with ISA since microsoft proxy 2.0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

1. IE is configured by default to use HTTP 1.0 through proxies . It can be changed in Tools->Internet Options->Advanced. (Select the checkbox for "Using HTTP 1.1. via proxies"


2. Caching is the problem that your users get the content of each other. In order to solve this you will need to: either disable caching or configure the cache settings properly in ISA. ISA help is really good and informative and its interface is intuitive and straight-forward.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestions.

1.  This is the first thing I tried.  I thought this would be the fix, but it still shows as 1.0.  Is there another way to check the http connection.  My friend's linux box is the source, but how can I check this myself.  Is there a site I can go to that will show my the version I am using?  

2.  Thanks, I will try disabling the cache on ISA.  I will also try the help as well.

"NOTE: in case you are checking for HTTP version on a server side, i.e. after the traffic leaves ISA to its destination - most probably you will see HTTP 1.0 anyway, because Proxy by default works like this. ISA 2004 though is able to work as HTTP 1.1 proxy."

This is what I wanted to verify?  Any reason for this?  I know that 1.1 has longer connection times than 1.0.
