Exactly, it doesn't. That's why you should use the actual cache mgmt options from your CDN provider, or just wait for your (properly configured) cache control headers to expire the cache (bear in mind that intermediate caching proxies don't always obey those TTLs or dates either).

I was just pointing out that some people adjust their menu links (etc) to include some sort of dynamic variable (ie /?ts=xxx). I don't recommend this sort of scheme, though, except in unusual circumstances: IMO, it's fragile, leaky, and inefficient.
