Doesn't that just compare the page on the proxy to the page stored on the hard drive temporary internet folder, rather than comparing the proxy page to the source server page?

Yep, that's exactly what it does... there is no way (that I know of) for ensuring you don't ever get outdated content that is cached on a proxy by doing something locally - apart from not using a proxy where possible

The only way I know off is setup your own proxy server remotely and use that to access pages, and set it up to always not cache content which is what I have done. Make sure you dont use a http port otherwise the traffic will still get intercepted.
