That's not what I'm talking about.
Disable caching on the frontend caching device when the user is logged in.
Your frontend cache is basically the same as Squid and Varnish. You have
to disable them for users because those kind of caches can never cache
user data right.
I believe Wikimedia does this by having the frontend cache check for the
user cookie.
