First, I have noticed of late that sometimes in going to the Microsoft site,
I've had to hit refresh to get the page to display.

Second, there is a VB script with SBS called deleteall.vbs - which clears
out the web cache for ISA.

And third, you might check to see if your ISP provider might have something
screwed up. Mine (Verizon) swore up and down that their DNS servers were
correct, turns out that of their 4 DNS servers, two had been updated
correctly, two had not. Once I sent them proof, they had it fixed
immediately.
