If you're using PHP, a simple method that I've had middling success
with is to use the header function to set the cache control before
your ajax is output, like so:

<?php header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); ?>

This unfortunately does not always work, as browsers have odd caching
that is non standard.

Also, if you're doing updating like this, consider PG's overlays, as
they are working terrifically for me doing similar things.

This is done via a periodic AJAX request to fetch the updated list, when the list has been retrieved I iterate across it invoking addObjectGeo on the correct object. The problem is that the map does not update properly on IE for these periodic updates. It works fine on Firefox but not IE. Anyone know how to resolve this?
